[Image-SIG] Sun Rasterfile support broken in 1.0b1

[Charles G Waldman]

I just came across this, when running a script to batch-convert some
older Sun .RAS files to a different format:


janus:~> file eq.ras
eq.ras: Sun raster image data, 640 x 480, 8-bit, RGB colormap

janus:~> python
Python 1.5.2b2 (#2, Jan 12 1999, 16:00:44)  [GCC egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egc on linux2

>>> import Image
>>> Image.VERSION
'1.0b1'
>>> x=Image.open("eq.ras")
>>> x.save("eq.png")

    return apply(decoder, (mode,) + args + extra)
ValueError: unknown raw mode



I'm looking into the problem; I don't have a fix yet however.  In the
meanwhile I just wanted to bring it to your attention.
