there's a list comprehension in the mac os x build fork that
wasn't supposed to be there.
workarounds:
- make sure you're building with Python 2.1 or later (see
David's reply)
- edit setup.py, and replace the code inside the
<if sys.platform == "darwin"> clause with a single
"pass"
- downgrade to PIL 1.1.3
- change "Python 2.0" to "Python 2.1" in PIL's README file
I'll fix this in 1.1.5.
thanks /F
