[Image-SIG] Question about ImageDraw.Draw function

[Chris Cogdon]

Aha... was looking at the wrong version of PIL. From 1.1.4's Image.py version:

try:
    # If the _imaging C module is not present, you can still use
    # the "open" function to identify files, but you cannot load
    # them.  Note that other modules should not refer to _imaging
    # directly; import Image and use the Image.core variable instead.
    import _imaging
    core = _imaging
    del _imaging
except ImportError, v:
    import string
    core = _imaging_not_installed()
    if str(v)[:20] == "Module use of python":
        # The _imaging C module is present, but not compiled for
        # the right version (windows only).  Print a warning, if
        # possible.
        try:
            import warnings
            warnings.warn(
                "The _imaging extension was built for another version "
                "of Python; most PIL functions will be disabled",
                RuntimeWarning
                )
        except (ImportError, NameError, AttributeError):
            pass # sorry


This seems the likely culprit. If true, then it's likely you're using a 
version of python different from what the _imaging module was compiled 
against.

If it IS true, then I'm surprised you're not seeing the warning. (It's not a 
very robust way of handling the warning, though ;)
