Installing Pillow

Installing Pillow under Ubuntu & virtualenv is pretty simple. It's just:

pip install Pillow

However, getting the support for the image formats might take some guess work. The following takes that guess work out for you. Install the library listed with apt-get install to get the needed support for the image format.

TKINTER - tk8.6-dev tcl8.6-dev python-tk

	Tips for getting your patches accepted:

	Don't needlessly break compatibility with older versions of PyCrypto. Patches that break compatibility with older version of PyCrypto, especially PyCrypto 2.0.1, will need an explanation about why it's worth breaking compatibility. Exception: Removing buggy code that nobody uses is fine.
	Don't needlessly break compatibility with older versions of Python. Run the test suite using Python 2.1 and the latest version of Python 2.x.
	Don't needlessly add complexity. The more complex the code is, the harder it is to maintain, and the more likely it is to have bugs.
	Don't needlessly add features. Seriously. X.509 doesn't belong in PyCrypto. Or anywhere, really.
	Don't create copyright headaches. It took me the better part of a year to sort out the licensing ambiguities in PyCrypto 2.0.1. If you're adding new files, include the standard PyCrypto public domain dedication at the top.
	Whatever you do in _fastmath.c, also do in _slowmath.py. PyCrypto has two math libraries: one that

	# Tuple abs val
	def tup_abs(t):
	return math.sqrt(t[0]t[0] + t[1]t[1] + t[2]*t[2])

	# Look for attributes of an object
	# Find s in attributes of o
	def find_attr(o, s):
	import re
	regex = re.compile(r'.'+s+'.')
	return [ at for at in dir(o) if regex.match(at) is not None ]

	To automatically do something at start up of OpenElec, place a shell script at /storage/.config/autostart.sh.


	For example, to start playing a playlist at start up, you can place the following in autostart.sh, which will launch a different script in the background (and release, so XBMC will start):

	#!/bin/sh
	play_videos.sh


	This is the content of play_videos.sh, which checks to see if xbmc is running first, and then release. Waits about 20 seconds to ensure XBMC started up completely, then play the video playlist:
