Python Imaging Library (PIL)

The Python Imaging Library (PIL) adds image processing capabilities to your Python interpreter. This library supports many file formats, and provides powerful image processing and graphics capabilities.

Status

The current free version is PIL 1.1.6. This release supports Python 1.5.2 and newer, including 2.4 and 2.5.

Support

Commercial Support: If you're using PIL in commercial applications, or mission-critical internal applications, we recommend that you purchase a PythonWare PIL support package. This includes priority mail support, patches for bugs that don't have simple workarounds, and early access to the development code base.

Free Support: If you don't have a support contract, please send your question to the Python Image SIG mailing list. The same applies for bug reports and patches.

You can join the Image SIG via python.org's subscription page, or by sending a mail to image-sig-request@python.org. Put subscribe in the message body to automatically subscribe to the list, or help to get additional information.

You can also ask on the Python mailing list, python-list@python.org, or the newsgroup comp.lang.python. Do not send support questions to PythonWare addresses.
