[ITP] python3-pillow

[cygwin-apps mailing list]

Hello,

This email signals my intent to package python3-pillow
(https://pypi.org/project/Pillow) for Cygwin. Pillow is a fork of the
Python Imaging Library.

I wish to package this because I have found that PyCrust (built with
wxPython) depends on Pillow and won't run without it installed. As
before, my test packages can be found at
https://www.hamishmb.com/files/cygwin-temp/.

If anyone has feedback I'd appreciate it very much.

1) Source packages are generally named python-*.

2) This should be an ITA for python-imaging instead, which has been
Pillow-based for a long time.

Yes, but the latest build of Pillow doesn't support Python 2 - I feel

calling it python-pillow would be misleading.

The Python imaging library was replaced by Pillow as far as I can tell,
and seems to have been unmaintained since 2011. Could you give me a link
to the library you're talking about please?

Either way, wxPython specifically needs Pillow. I can also build the
imaging library if you want though.

No, this is the naming scheme we've been using for Python packages.

python-foo: sources
pythonXY-foo: binaries for each supported X.Y version of Python

As I said, our python-imaging packages have been from Pillow for quite
some time.  Technically, at this point they should be named python-pil
or the like, but the package name long predates the PIL namespace being
mandatory (not to mention the Pillow fork in general), but I never
renamed the packages to avoid the complications involved therein.
 Either way, "pillow" isn't the right name IMO because users don't
"from Pillow import", they "from PIL import".

for the record, I removed python3-pillow from cygwin-pkg-maint.

better late than never
