PIL and py2exe Issues

[Anand Pillai]

I had faced similar problems sometime back . 
What you need to do is perform a separate import
of the image plugin modules which you need in your
program before you process it using PIL.

i.e, instead of just
import Image

you need to add

import JpegImagePlugin    #for jpeg
import TgaImagePlugin     #for tga
import PngImagePlugin     #for png
...

You need to do this for each image plugin you need
PIL support for. (This question has been asked manytimes
in this group before, I myself have asked it a couple of 
times)

You can take a look at PyWiew source code in my homepage
for details.
