Yes, I have used the Python Imaging Library to translate some binary image 
files into JPEG and vice versa.  I have still had to use another tool after 
to stitch them together for a movie.  I realize this may not QUITE be what 
everyone would like, but it was what I needed/need.

I don't know if the way I got PIL working is quite standard.  The PIL install 
more or less assumes that you are using the PythonWorks version of Python.  
So I ended up moving stuff from the directory it installed in into my 
"regular" Python directory.

I am curious, has someone installed VPython over a PythonWorks installation, 
rather than the "by the book" install over the standard Python release?

If you want, I will get the code I mentioned above for tranlating the data 
arrays into JPEG and vice versa off my laptop and post. (At least, as long as 
I can do JPEG stuff without royalties)  :-)

Sorry, I have been busy this weekend.

I'll have to go back in the morning and check my notes, but the approaches 
mentioned do not sound like what I did.  I believe I just copied stuff into 
the libs and dll directories within my Python22 directory.

I sort of asked a question in my original post that I have not seens 
addressed.  Has anyone done a VPython install on top of the Pythonworks 
distribution, i.e. the one that goes in the py22 directory by defualt, rather 
than the "standard" Python distro?  If I were not so beat, I might try it 
tonight...

Where did you put the PIL files? I tried putting them in
C:\Python22\Lib\site-packages (and some other places in Python22), but when
I tried to run a PIL demo I got an error message that a PIL module couldn't
be found.

For those of you interested in using the Python Image Library (PIL), Bruce
Peterson offers some information on its installation:
