Some of the static maps returned by the Google Maps API are in RGBA mode. These images cannot be saved as .jpg files.
How to replicate this issue:
Delete the cache folder (/mapscache/)
Run the example.py script
Observe the following error message:
File "/home/mhubrich/GooMPy/goompy/__init__.py", line 78, in _grab_tile
tile.save(filename)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 1930, in save
save_handler(self, fp, filename)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/JpegImagePlugin.py", line 607, in _save
raise IOError("cannot write mode %s as JPEG" % im.mode)
IOError: cannot write mode RGBA as JPEG
Code fix:
If PIL images are in mode RGBA, they have to be converted to RGB. This can be done in the goompy/init.py file after line 75:
tile = PIL.Image.open(BytesIO(result))
# Some tiles are in mode `RGBA` and need to be converted
if tile.mode != 'RGB':
tile = tile.convert('RGB')
