The Python Imaging Library (PIL) adds image processing capabilities to your Python interpreter. This library supports many file formats, and provides powerful image processing and graphics capabilities.

This source kit has been built and tested on Windows NT/2000/XP, Mac OS X, and most major Unix platforms (including Alpha, Solaris, and Intel systems). We believe that it should work on most modern platforms (people are using it on Crays, after all.

What's New in This Release:
Added experimental PERSPECTIVE transform method (from Jeff Breiden- bach).
Make sure "thumbnail" never generates zero-wide or zero-high images
(reported by Gene Skonicki)
Fixed a "getcolors" bug that could result in a zero count for some colors (reported by Richard Oudkerk).
Changed default "convert" palette to avoid "rounding errors" when round-tripping white source pixels (reported by Henryk Gerlach and Jeff Epler).
