[Image-SIG] import ICCProfile Error

[Bharathwaaj Srinivasan]

As you suggested, I've commented out the try except code

        #try:
        #    import ICCProfile
        #    p = ICCProfile.ICCProfile(im.info["icc_profile"])
        #    name = p.tags.desc.get("ASCII", p.tags.desc.get("Unicode",
p.tags.desc.get("Macintosh", p.tags.desc.get("en", {}).get("US", "ICC
Profile")))).encode("latin1", "replace")[:79]
        #except ImportError:
        name = "ICC Profile"

and it works fine. Still couldn't understand why it was failing?

Kind regards,
Bharath
