[Pythonmac-SIG] img vs. Imaging vs. PIL?!?

[Joseph J. Strout]

Can someone explain to me the relationship between these things which I
find in my Python Extensions folder...


img: "a number of python modules that support handling of many different image
formats"

Imaging: a folder containing PIL, and associated files

PIL: "adds image processing capabilities to your Python interpreter.  This
library provides extensive file format support, an efficient internal
representation, and fairly powerful image processing capabilities"


Are img and PIL basically different approaches to the same problem?  Is one
more standard than the other?  Does one work better on the Mac than the
other?

Finally, in the PIL 0.2b3 documentation, there's an ImageTk and an ImageWin
module, but no ImageMac module... any advice on how to display a PIL image
in a QuickDraw (e.g., IDE) window?

Thanks,
-- Joe
