4. Technical Description:
    4.1. Details:
	Python Imaging Library (PIL) provides image processing
	capabilities for Python environments.  It allows numerous
	imaging-related operations to be performed from within Python
	scripts (for example, you could load an image from a file,
	crop it, flip it, convert to grayscale and save the
	resulting image in a different format).

	PIL provides support for numerous graphical file formats
	with varying degrees of support: Identify Only, Read
	Only or Read-Write.  The full list of supported formats is:
	ARG BMP BUFR CUR DCX EPS FITS FLI FPX GBR GIF GRIB HDF5 ICNS
	ICO IM IMT IPTC JPEG MCIDAS MIC MPEG MSP PCD PCX PIXAR PNG
	PPM PSD SGI SPIDER SUN TGA TIFF WMF XBM XPM XVTHUMB

	Support is also provided for Tkinter (Python interface to Tk)
	image formats.

	PIL is delivered as a set of Python modules installed in
	/usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/PIL.  There are also
	demo scripts to be installed in /usr/demo and
	HTML-format documentation.

	This proposal integrates version 1.1.6 of PIL.


    4.2. Bug/RFE Number(s):
	None.

    4.3. In Scope:
	See above.

    4.4. Out of Scope:
	The ImageGrab module, for doing screen grabs, does not work on Unix.
