how to find out vesion of a python module

[Atishay]

I have Python Image Library installed. I do not know how to find out
its version. How can I do that?

Secondly, I get error if I say "import ImageFont"

ImportError: The _imaging C module is not installed

I have _imaging module though

[bash]# file PIL/_imaging.so

PIL/_imaging.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1
(SYSV), not stripped

How could I fix this?

There is no standard way. However many module authors do include soch
information, usually in an attribute named version or __version__, or
VERSION. PIL uses the VERSION

import Image
print Image.VERSION

[bash]# file PIL/_imaging.so

It looks like you have it installed incorrectly, How did you install
it. What platform/system are you on?
PIL usually uses a PIL.pth file. Does that exist? Where? And what are
its contents?

Thank you very much. This works

Secondly, I get error if I say "import ImageFont"

I think it is installed correctly. Here is why.

If I do export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
now if I run python and say "import ImageFont", it works correctly.

contents of PIL.pth
[bash]#cat PIL.pth
PIL

[atishay@borel site-packages]$ ls PIL.pth
PIL.pth
[atishay@borel site-packages]$ ls -d PIL
PIL

Now the point is, how do I avoid setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH everytime for
python? I know I can write a bash script, but I am sure python would
have some feature that I can tweak to make it work.

Hi,

Now the point is, how do I avoid setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH everytime for
python? I know I can write a bash script, but I am sure python would

On debian you can modify

* /etc/ld.so.conf and/or
* /etc/ld.so.conf.d/....

to include the path you need.
