What an unfortunate response.
PIL is used in hundreds of products, is featured in an upcoming book, and was out there long before Zope (and long before there was some- thing called packages). No way the interface gonna change as long the version number is <= 2.0.
You must be very proud of PIL. Note that Zope is used in hundreds of sites, is featured in *two* upcoming books, I don't know when you became such a history buff of Zope but Image.py has been around about a year and a half, and also existed before packages (we previously used a hacked ni).
why not fix Zope instead?
I didn't realize Zope was broken. But since you asked, because it would break every single object database out there, as the pickles record the module name.
(if you teach Zope to actually use PIL, it'll recognize dozens of image file formats -- see htmlgen for an example on how to do that).
I'd love to use PIL. I'd like it even more if the PIL community was less antagonistic. --Paul
