PIL distributed inside Inkscape (Windows 64 bit)
Hi everyone,
While trying to use the PIL library bundled with the python installation inside the Inkscape directory, for developing a new extension, I got the following error:
import _imaging
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
Even though the _imaging.pyd file was present, I was unable to load it into the python interpreter. Then I found that even I downloaded the x64 installer for Inkscape, the bundled python version was the 32-bit one. After tweaking the windows registry (to make the installer point to the bundled python directory) I managed to install the x64 version of PIL, still without success because the python interpreter was 32-bit.
After forcing the installation of python 2.6 64-bit version over the bundled version, I had to reinstall on this python environment the PIL and lxml libraries, and my plugin finally was able to use PIL.
Should this issue be fixed? I mean bundling python 64bit (+libraries) with Inkscape 64bit installer.
Hello,
Could you please file a bugreport for the extension that not run on inkscape 64bit. https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+filebug
I use Python in my daily work and came to the conclusion to not use 64 bit python as I run into dead end with some libs not provided as 64bit.
However we could discuss to repacke the given python interpreter to current 2.7 version. I don't think all extensions are 3.4 compatible.

It is an extension that I am developing for personal use, maybe will release it in near future.
I think that if the inkscape build is for 64 bit system, the underlying python should also be 64 bit, as it prevented me from using a DLL-based python library (PIL) (bundled in the internal python installation), it may be the case for other libraries that others may want to use that are currently shipped and may be unnoticed yet.
It would also be a great idea to test the extensions on python 3.4. What is needed to do this? Just install python 3.4 over the current python install in the inkscape directory?
Regards.

We have this same issue with a laser exporting script I developed. As such in my instructions I've got people to install python seperately which has caused numerous headaches for people.
If this could be fixed it would be a big relief to some of the users of my plugin/extension.
