I have installed Easy Image and PIL 1.1.4 on my Zope 2.6.1 with Python 2.1.3 on Windows XP. It works well with jpg and other formats, but when I try to upload a TIFF image (wich is precisely what I want) it gives me the error:

IOError "decoder tiff_ccitt not available"

I have followed the guide on Zope.org (http://www.zope.org/Members/SmileyChris/howto/pil_for_windows) to install PIL, and I have no idea what can I be doing wrong. I will appreciate any help you could give.

Thus, you have to study the PIL installation instructions to check

* whether there is "tiff_ccitt" support at all for "PIL"

* under what conditions it is available

Yes, this is really a question for the PIL mailing list at image-sig@python.org TIFF is not fully supported -- it rarely is, because TIFF is a huge sprawling standard that actually encompasses a number of different image standards under one name. In any case, the fact that you are getting this message means that 1) PIL *is* installed, and 2) PIL has a problem with the TIFF file It may be due to lack of access to a needed shared object (library). For example, you'll get a similar message with PNG files if the PNG library is not available. Or it may be something not supported by PIL at all. But whatever it is, it's all internal to PIL, not a Zope issue. Cheers, Terry -- Terry Hancock ( hancock at anansispaceworks.com ) Anansi Spaceworks http://www.anansispaceworks.com
