Public bug reported: This code worked perfectly in Ubuntu 12.10 and stopped working in ubuntu 13.04:
import Image img = Image.open( "path/to/img.jpg" ) It always raises an "IOError: cannot identify image file". Tested with several images. I don't know of any API changes in PIL and the same code works in Windows and Ubuntu 12.10 lsb_release -rd output: Description: Ubuntu 13.04 Release: 13.04 apt-cache policy python-imaging output: python-imaging: Installiert: 1.1.7+2.0.0-1 Installationskandidat: 1.1.7+2.0.0-1 Versionstabelle: *** 1.1.7+2.0.0-1 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: python-imaging (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Changed in: python-imaging (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1174729 Title: PIL Image.open() raises "IOError: cannot identify image file" on all image files since update to 13.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-imaging/+bug/1174729/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
