python-pil package not available in default repositories #3

Closed cokelid closed 8 years ago

cokelid commented 8 years ago

In setup.sh you install the python-pil package. On a vanilla and up-to-date RPi installation this package doesn't exist. Is there a custom repository that needs to be added? I tried using the python-imaging package in its place, but that doesn't work (image.tobytes() does not exist). Do we need the regular Pything Imaging Library, or Pillow perhaps? Cheers, Justin

Can you try changing image.tobytes() to image.tostring() and try with the python-imaging package?

cokelid commented 8 years ago

OK - I did: sudo apt-get install python-imaging And then changed image.tobytes() to image.tostring() in apps/utils/gif_image.py and it works!

I do see that the animation under the "SENSORS" button is not displaying properly, though this might be a separate issue? The "forward sensors" animation is working fine however.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

Thanks for the feedback, I'll see if I can make the setup work for either package - seems like different versions of raspbian support different package names and versions. What version of raspbian are you using?
