[Python-bugs-list] [Bug #117090] PIL (TkImaging) extension instructions wrong

[noreply@sourceforge.net]

Bug #117090, was updated on 2000-Oct-17 08:55
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Python
Category: Documentation
Status: Open
Resolution: None
Bug Group: None
Priority: 7
Summary: PIL (TkImaging) extension instructions wrong

Details: Modules/Setup.in contains:
# *** Uncomment and edit for PIL (TkImaging) extension only:
#       -DWITH_PIL -I../Extensions/Imaging/libImaging tkImaging.c \

However, there is no directory 'Extensions' or any source
file tkImaging.c

Either these instructions should be removed from Setup.in, or tkImaging.c should be added to the distribution, or instructions should be added where to find tkImaging.c and
the associated imaging libraries.

Comment:
I'm not sure "wrong" is the right word here -- the comment is clearly correct, as long as the reader understands that modules that are commented out in the Setup file doesn't necessarily build on all platforms (as mentioned at the top of the Setup file, and also in the README file. "if you get
compilation or link errors, disable it -- you're missing support").

however, the easiest solution here is probably to add a reference to: http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil
