The Python Imaging Library is still current; I guess they just haven't found any new bugs or seen fit to add new functionality in a while, though I presume they'll start working on a Python 3.0 port eventually. If you don't like PIL, there's always the (much less popular) Python bindings to ImageMagick: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#python Cheers, Chris -- Follow the path of the Iguana... http://rebertia.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

what has happened to PIL? No updates since two years. The Python Imaging Library is still current; I guess they just haven't found any new bugs or seen fit to add new functionality in a while, though I presume they'll start working on a Python 3.0 port eventually. That's actually an interesting question. Does anybody know if PIL is being ported to 3.0? Are there such plans? Maybe even code?
