[reportlab-users] drawImage does not accept PIL objects

[Hervé Cauwelier]

Hi,

I have the following program: http://bpaste.net/show/4621/

It simply "paste" an image on the center of a page, open a new page, and 
so on.

According to the documentation, I can provide "drawImage" with PIL Image 
objects. But when I try:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/herve/bin/cbz2pdf", line 65, in <module>
     convert(filename, outname, options.resolution, delete=options.delete)
   File "/home/herve/bin/cbz2pdf", line 33, in convert
     canvas.drawImage(image, x, y, width=w, height=h)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/reportlab/pdfgen/canvas.py", 
line 825, in drawImage
     imgObj = pdfdoc.PDFImageXObject(name, image, mask=mask)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/reportlab/pdfbase/pdfdoc.py", 
line 2076, in __init__
     ext = string.lower(os.path.splitext(source)[1])
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/posixpath.py", line 95, in splitext
     return genericpath._splitext(p, sep, altsep, extsep)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/genericpath.py", line 91, in _splitext
     sepIndex = p.rfind(sep)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 512, in 
__getattr__
     raise AttributeError(name)
AttributeError: rfind


It treats the "image" argument as a filename, not an open image.

I have to use "drawInlineImage" instead that seems to produce a bigger 
PDF than expected.

I run reportlab 2.4 on Archlinux x86_64.

Maybe there's a better recipe to convert a batch of images to PDF?

Thanks for your help,
