PIL for Python 1.5b2
====================

Requirements
------------

This should work on Windows NT and Windows 95.
I have only tested it on Windows NT 4.0.

You need the official Python 1.5b2 installer for
Windows (and run it, of course!).
I exect that this will work with the final release of
Python 1.5, but I can't guarantee that (yet).
It *may* just work with Python 1.5b1.

You also need a version of Tcl/Tk; 8.0p1 or 8.0p2
are recommended (8.0p2 being the latest release
at this time and the one I am testing with).

With Python 1.4, use Fredrik Lundh's distribution
instead!  See www.pythonware.com.

Origins
-------

PIL is created by Fredrik Lundh.  See readme.pil
for licensing information.  PIL's website is
www.pythonware.com.

Python is created by Guido van Rossum (and a cast
of thousands).  Python's website is www.python.org.

The _imaging.pyd and _tkinter.pyd extension modules
were compiled for Python 1.5b2 by Mark Hadfield.
They were compiled from the last PIL source release,
0.3a1 (starship).

The rest of the files (the Python source files in
the imaging and and scripts directories) were taken
Fredrik Lundh's last binary release for Windows,
0.3a2 (pythonware).

This zip archive was created by Guido van Rossum.

Instructions
------------

Move or copy _tkinter.pyd and _imaging.pyd to the
top-level Python directory (created by running the Python
installer; by default this C:\Program Files\Python).
The _tkinter.pyd extension should *replace* the
_tkinter.pyd that's already there.

The "imaging" subdirectory should be on your
Python's module search path (sys.path).
Since this zip archive can't set registry values,
the simplest solution is to set the PYTHONPATH
environment variable to this directory (the other
directories are taken care of by the registry --
in Python 1.5, PYTHONPATH augments the path taken
from the registry (in 1.4, setting PYTHONPATH
would replace it).  (You can't use this for
the the extension modules since the old _tkinter.pyd
might still be picked up first).
