Hi! Thanks for your reply:

I'd already searched the PIDDLE mailing lists archives and applied this
patch (and you'll see it in use in the trace I supplied, at the line
``File "piddlePIL.py", line 247, in drawLine'' below).

	Traceback (innermost last):
	  File "piddletest.py", line 273, in ?
	    mainLoop()
	  File "piddletest.py", line 268, in mainLoop
	    runtest(backends[backend], tests[test])
	  File "piddletest.py", line 210, in runtest
	    canvas = testfunc(canvasClass)
	  File "piddletest.py", line 22, in minimal
	    canvas.drawLine(1,1,size[0]-1,size[1]-1)
	  File "piddlePIL.py", line 247, in drawLine
	    self._pen.line( (x1,y1), (x2,y2) )
	  File "/local/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/PIL/ImageDraw.py", line 107, in line
	    ink, fill = self._getink(fill)
	  File "/local/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/PIL/ImageDraw.py", line 73, in _getink
	    ink = self.im.draw_ink(ink)
	TypeError: illegal argument type for built-in operation

So am I right in assuming this is a different problem?
