[reportlab-users] ReportLab & py2exe

[Larry Bates]

Robin,

Thanks for the reply.  Unfortunately I had already tried this solution
and it didn't solve the problem.  It must have something to do with the
scope of the plugins.  If I load them in my main program I can open
the file with Image.open, but when reportlab tries to do the same
down inside of drawinlineImage it can't locate the plugin (even though
I've loaded it in the main program).  I tried inserting the import in
every place that seemed to make sense and nothing worked.

FYI, Larry

google knows... ;-)

PIL scans sys.path for plugins (*ImagePlugin files).  When running under
py2exe (or any other wrapper), you have to import them yourself.  Just
add import statements to your main program for all the formats you need:

    import JpegImagePlugin
    import PngImagePlugin
    import BmpImagePlugin
    import GifImagePlugin
    # etc

(to get a complete list, look in the PIL package directory)
