You're missing at least one import there.

So how about you start by telling us what non-standard libraries you're
using, what version of python you're  using, and what OS ?  Then supply
us a working set of code, in the sense that people can see the problem
you're complaining about.

Doesn't work is pretty vague.  It could mean anything from "it makes the
image too small by 1%" to "it crashes my system after reformatting my
hard disk."  If you get an error, include the entire traceback here.  If
it doesn't work in some other sense,
