Problem PIL-1.1.7 _imagingft

2010-06-24 Thread Michel Claveau - MVP 
Hi!

With PIL-1.1.7.win32-py2.6 and Windows 7, I have this traceback:
  raise ImportError(The _imagingft C module is not installed)
  ImportError: The _imagingft C module is not installed

I tested import _imaging and several other things, without success.
If I re-install PIL-1.1.6  all run OK.

I found a solution:
 - install PIL-1.1.7,
 - then, copy these two files from PIL 1.1.6: _imaging.pyd  _imagingft.pyd

But, is it a good way?

Thanks

The _imageft.pyd DLL of PIL 1.1.7 has a erroneous dependency on the
Debug CRT. You can safely remove the dependency by editing the file with
a hex editor. Open the file on your hex editor, search for the string
assembly and comment out the Debug CRT. The block should look like:

  !--endency
dependentAssembly
  assemblyIdentity type=win32 name=Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT
version=9.0.21022.8 processorArchitecture=x86
publicKeyToken=1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b/assemblyIdentity
/dependentAssembly
  /dependen--
