cStringIO modules gone

[jagiella]

When I try to run the examples, I get the following error message:

$ python3 examples/simple/benchmark.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "examples/simple/benchmark.py", line 2, in <module>
    import pyfly2
  File "pyfly2.pyx", line 15, in init pyfly2 (pyfly2.c:6933)
    #import cStringIO
ImportError: No module named 'cStringIO'

I read that the cStringIO module does not exist anymore and became part of the io module (refered article). Do you have any idea how to make it run anyways?

Pyfly2 isn't a python3 module yet. Use Python 2.7.

Thanks for your fast reply! Nevertheless, running the same example with python 2.7 produces the follwoing error:

$ python examples/simple/benchmark.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "examples/simple/benchmark.py", line 41, in <module>
    main()
  File "examples/simple/benchmark.py", line 38, in main
    test.Start()
  File "examples/simple/benchmark.py", line 19, in Start
    _ = self.camera.GrabPILImage()
  File "pyfly2.pyx", line 363, in pyfly2.Camera.GrabPILImage (pyfly2.c:4140)
    return Image.fromstring('L', (width, height), self.rawImage.pData[0:size])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 2063, in fromstring
    "Please call frombytes() instead.")
Exception: fromstring() has been removed. Please call frombytes() instead.

Fixed and pushed. However I am not in a position to test it. Can you test it and close the issue if it works? Thanks!

[jagiella]

I pulled and recompiled. And I can confirm that the benchmark exmple is now working! All other examples already worked without your changes by the way.

Thanks for your help!
