[Image-SIG] PIL and Maya 64bit

[Andrew_Seymour at scee.net]

Hi,

I've integrated PIL into some of our tools for Maya. In particular I use 
it to create 16bit TIFFs.

In Maya 2010 64 bit which I believe uses Python 2.6.1 everything worked 
fine. I got compiled versions of PIL from: 
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
which worked great.

I'm now preparing to move to the latest version of 64bit Maya which I 
believe uses Python 2.6.4.

I'm having problems with importing the _imaging module.

With the path added to the system path I first got this error:

# Error: ImportError: file <maya console> line 7: DLL load failed: The 
specified module could not be found. # 

I then used dependency walker to try and find out what was missing. I then 
tried to include a 64 bit version of msvcr90.dll in the PIL directory.
This resulted in the following error:

# Error: ImportError: file <maya console> line 1: DLL load failed: A 
dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed. #



I personally don't have the know how or software to compile PIL locally as 
I am a Technical Artist and not a fully blown programmer.

Can you help or advise? Am I on the right track with the msvcr90.dll?
