64bit windows OS

[Bill Mummert]

 

I am trying to install PIL 1.1.6 on a machine running a Windows Vista 64bit OS with Python 2.6 installed. I tried the windows installer, but it fails to detect my Python installation. Python is registered with the OS. I checked the registry using regedit. I was able to install another Python module py2exe using an installer they provide. I was just wondering if their was a 64 bit installer I missed or a simple work around to make PIL happen on this OS. Thanks!

Chances are that you trying to install the 32-bit version of PIL 1.1.6
on a 64-bit Python version. That will not work. I have a 64-bit build of
PIL 1.1.7 available on my homepage
<http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/#pythonlibs>.

Last time I checked, there were no x64 binaries available, so I compiled PIL
from source. I've been using it for some time now and it seems to work OK. I
only added FreeType support just now and haven't tested it much, but
TrueType fonts are rendered just fine in my tests.

It's here if you want it:

Now that I reread your post, you don't specify whether you're using the 32-
or 64-bit Python. My previous response is only relevant for Python x64.
Otherwise, there's probably a mismatch of library versions or an incomplete
installation of Python.

In my previous post (in case you still can't see it) I provided a 64-bit PIL
version compiled from source:

I don't blame you for opting to go with Python 32-bit. It still too early
for full transition to 64-bit, at least in Windows-land, where compiling
stuff is not an OS feature.  :o)

As for building PIL x64, if you want full feature support, you have to build
some dependencies as well (zlib, libpng, jpeglib, and freetype). It's a bit
convoluted; if you or anyone else want instructions, I'll post them here.

Anyone have Python bindings for the JasPer or OpenJPEG JPEG2000 libraries?
