I am fairly new to image processing in Python, and have a bugger of a time getting Mahotas to run on my Windows machine. (Win7, 32bit, Python 2.7).

The best place to ask Mahotas questions would be on the PythonVision mailing list, where Luis is active: http://groups.google.com/group/pythonvision

My main problem seems to be related to freeimage, and I am wondering if any of you got it running under Windows?

You can also use FreeImage via scikits-image, so please try that as well and let us know: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scikits.image The code snippet you need is: import skimage.io as sio sio.use('freeimage') img = sio.imread('/path/to/image.jpg') sio.imshow(img) Regards Stéfan
