>>> import catimages

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
    import catimages
  File "catimages.py", line 66, in <module>
    from PIL import Image   # new 'PIL' fork 'Pillow' (fedora 19)
ImportError: No module named PIL

Comment 1 John Mark Vandenberg 2014-09-09 08:35:13 UTC

What is the bug?

The catimages code is:

try:
    import Image            # classic 'PIL'
except ImportError:
    from PIL import Image   # new 'PIL' fork 'Pillow' (fedora 19)

http://git.wikimedia.org/commit/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/5dc246cd5f17aea47383de4e599977bfa3d37a07

I think compat tries to automatically install every dependency, so this bug might be that PIL/Pillow needs to be added to externals/__init__.py

Or, it could provide a nice error message if it failed to find the package after two imports.

Also it isnt not documented at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Installation#Dependencies
