[Pythonmac-SIG] PIL - image.show() problem on 10.2.8 in X11

[Christian Meesters]

Hi

In addition to what Bob said my $.02: show() will call _showxv() if you can't import Tk - which, as 
I suppose, is the case on most Macs. _showxv() on the other hand will try to open Preview. But for 
this you'll need to install the 'JPEG dependencies' as well. Then it will go for xv. You can try to fix  
Image.py yourself, so that show() will ultimately open Preview with your preferred image type.
I was busy writing a patch, but didn't finish it, for I'll have, well, other priorities these days. Sorry.

Good luck.
Cheers,
Christian
