[Image-SIG] unicode filenames in PIL

[Douglas Bagnall]

hi all,

I was getting mysterious errors from the image save method:

i.save(fname) 
"[...]/PIL/Image.py", line 681, in save format = EXTENSION[ext]  
KeyError:  

until I discovered the filename string was unicode. This had happened 
somewhat by stealth, as a plain string mixed with unicode yeilds a 
unicode result, so a small piece of the filename from XML had infected 
the whole.

Anyway, 
 i.save(str(fname)) 
fixes the problem, but I wonder if this mightn't be better done within 
Image.py?

cheers,

Douglas
