The best place to ask Mahotas questions would be on the PythonVision
mailing list, where Luis is active:

You can also use FreeImage via scikits-image, so please try that as
well and let us know:

http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scikits.image

The code snippet you need is:

import skimage.io as sio
sio.use('freeimage')

img = sio.imread('/path/to/image.jpg')
sio.imshow(img)
