It's pretty -great. There's only one problem, which is that users must first -uninstall PIL before installing Pillow, as they share a namespace. - -This makes it very hard for Python modules or products that need to -run on a variety of configurations to easily depend on either PIL -or Pillow without inevitably breaking something (perhaps in subtle -ways). That makes it hard to safely transition. - -This package aims to "solve" that by providing a single dependency -that can intelligently depend on either PIL or Pillow, based on what's -already on the system. Packages that still need to work if PIL is -installed, but aim to transition to Pillow, can simply depend on the -pillowfight package. |
