[...] At least the native Python 2.6 on Snow Leopard works great, and this wasn’t nearly as painfull as installing PIL on Cygwin! [...]

worked for me, too, but I needed to rebase using the “ash” terminal.

Thanks!

Instead of diddling with the system’s Tk DLL, you could also just disable Tk support in PIL. While the setuptools script doesn’t have any flags, you could easily just make it think that Tkinter isn’t installed:

sed -i -e ’s/import _tkinter/raise ImportError/’ setup.py

Just a quick ‘thank you’. This worked a treat with PIL 1.1.6

re: NdrU “it apparently broke the Tkinter” … “ImportError: Permission denied”

same here -> fixed by running “rebaseall”

All I’ve been trying to do is display a jpeg using python on Cygwin… you would think that Cygwin maintainers would have added this functionality, but no. Thanks for the fix!

I was able to build the PIL using this fix, but it apparently broke the Tkinter. Now when I try running a tkinter application, i get this error:

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 38, in 
    import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ImportError: Permission denied

Any help, please? Rich: Sorry mate, I haven't done any non-web work in years, let alone GUI. Good luck!
