Description: Pillow
        ======
        
        Pillow is a "friendly" fork of the Python Imaging Library. The goal is to see
        if any improvement can be made to the packaging situation(*) by opening up
        development to the "public" and exploring the problem within the fork.
        
        Please email: aclark@aclark.net if you'd like to help, or complain.
        
        (*) PIL aims to support the 'import Image' statement which will fail whenever
        there is another 'Image' module in the top level namespace.

        Prerequisites
        -------------
        
        If you need any of the features described below, make sure you
        have the necessary libraries before building PIL::
        
        feature              library
        -----------------------------------------------------------------
        JPEG support         libjpeg (6a or 6b)
        
        http://www.ijg.org
        http://www.ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
        ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/
        
        PNG support          zlib (1.2.3 or later is recommended)
        
        http://www.gzip.org/zlib/
        
        OpenType/TrueType    freetype2 (2.3.9 or later is recommended)
        support
        http://www.freetype.org
        http://freetype.sourceforge.net
        
        CMS support          littleCMS (1.1.5 or later is recommended)
        support
        http://www.littlecms.com/
        
        If you have a recent Linux version, the libraries provided with the
        operating system usually work just fine.  If some library is
        missing, installing a prebuilt version (jpeg-devel, zlib-devel,
        etc) is usually easier than building from source.  For example, for
        Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic), you can install the following libraries::
        
        sudo apt-get install libjpeg62-dev
        sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
        sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev
        sudo apt-get install liblcms1-dev
        
        If you're using Mac OS X, you can use the 'fink' tool to install
        missing libraries (also see the Mac OS X section below).
        
        Similar tools are available for many other platforms.
        
        
        To build under Python 1.5.2, you need to install the stand-alone
        version of the distutils library:
        
        http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/download.html
        
        You can fetch distutils 1.0.2 from the Python source repository:
        
        svn export http://svn.python.org/projects/python/tags/Distutils-1_0_2/Lib/distutils/
        
        For newer releases, the distutils library is included in the
        Python standard library.
        
        NOTE: Version 1.1.7 is not fully compatible with 1.5.2.  Some
        more recent additions to the library may not work, but the core
        functionality is available.
        
        
        If you didn't build Python from sources, make sure you have
        Python's build support files on your machine.  If you've down-
        loaded a prebuilt package (e.g. a Linux RPM), you probably
        need additional developer packages.  Look for packages named
        "python-dev", "python-devel", or similar.  For example, for
        Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic), use the following command:
        
        sudo apt-get install python-dev
        
        
        When you have everything you need, unpack the PIL distribution
        (the file Imaging-1.1.7.tar.gz) in a suitable work directory::
        
        $ cd MyExtensions # example
        $ gunzip Imaging-1.1.7.tar.gz
        $ tar xvf Imaging-1.1.7.tar
        
        
        Build the library.  We recommend that you do an in-place build,
        and run the self test before installing.::
        
        $ cd Imaging-1.1.7
        $ python setup.py build_ext -i
        $ python selftest.py
        
        During the build process, the setup.py will display a summary
        report that lists what external components it found.  The self-
        test will display a similar report, with what external components
        the tests found in the actual build files::
        
        ----------------------------------------------------------------
        PIL 1.1.7 SETUP SUMMARY
        ----------------------------------------------------------------
        *** TKINTER support not available (Tcl/Tk 8.5 libraries needed)
        --- JPEG support available
        --- ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support available
        --- FREETYPE support available
        ----------------------------------------------------------------
        
        Make sure that the optional components you need are included.
        
        If the build script won't find a given component, you can edit the
        setup.py file and set the appropriate ROOT variable.  For details,
        see instructions in the file.
        
        If the build script finds the component, but the tests cannot
        identify it, try rebuilding *all* modules:
        
        $ python setup.py clean
        $ python setup.py build_ext -i
        
        
        If the setup.py and selftest.py commands finish without any
        errors, you're ready to install the library:
        
        $ python setup.py install
        
        (depending on how Python has been installed on your machine,
        you might have to log in as a superuser to run the 'install'
        command, or use the 'sudo' command to run 'install'.)
        
        
        --------------------------------------------------------------------
        Additional notes for Mac OS X
        --------------------------------------------------------------------
        
        On Mac OS X you will usually install additional software such as
        libjpeg or freetype with the "fink" tool, and then it ends up in
        "/sw".  If you have installed the libraries elsewhere, you may have
        to tweak the "setup.py" file before building.
        
        
        --------------------------------------------------------------------
        Additional notes for Windows
        --------------------------------------------------------------------
        
        On Windows, you need to tweak the ROOT settings in the "setup.py"
        file, to make it find the external libraries.  See comments in the
        file for details.
        
        Make sure to build PIL and the external libraries with the same
        runtime linking options as was used for the Python interpreter
        (usually /MD, under Visual Studio).
        
        
        Note that most Python distributions for Windows include libraries
        compiled for Microsoft Visual Studio.  You can get the free Express
        edition of Visual Studio from:
        
        http://www.microsoft.com/Express/
        
        To build extensions using other tool chains, see the "Using
        non-Microsoft compilers on Windows" section in the distutils handbook:
        
        http://www.python.org/doc/current/inst/non-ms-compilers.html
        
        For additional information on how to build extensions using the
        popular MinGW compiler, see:
