Description of problem: Python Imaging contains a module to access scanners via SANE. This is currently not built and distributed but only included in the -devel documentation, i.e. you have to build it yourself if you want to use it. Which is bad if at some point you want to distribute anything using that module ;-). It would be good if this module were built and distributed, possibly in a subpackage. Speaking about subpackages, it would be good if the Tk-depending modules were separate from the main module as well so that you don't suck in the whole Tcl/Tk stack if you weant to use the Imaging module, but use another toolkit for display. Shout if you want a separate bugzilla entry for that ;-). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-imaging-1.1.6-1.fc6 I'll attach a small patch that fixes an incompatible pointer type warning. If you wish, I'll work on the necessary spec file changes, just tell me in that case.

Hi Nils, All the issues you mentioned above have been in my mind for some time. :-) I was just waiting for a nag message to move my ass and do something about it. So if you don't mind you could work on them and commit the appropriate changes, I am a bit busy at moment or else I would do them myself. I do not want to stop working on python-imaging (that I use) but if you are motivated by these issues I don't want to stop you from implementing them. I hope you understand the reasons. :-) Tell me if there any acl changes that I need to do for this to be possible.
committed to CVS: * Sun Apr 29 2007 Nils Philippsen <nphilipp> - 1.1.6-3 - add sane subpackage, split off tk subpackage (#238252) - add sane-types patch - use -b for patches to save original files - correct groups Do you want to build or shall I?
Please, go ahead. One note, in the naming of the tk interface I had thought about using tkinter instead of just tk, on the other hand there is neither a rule or guideline nor other similar examples so I trust your choice here. :-)
At least it makes a short name ;-). I've kicked off the builds for FC-6 and devel with the aforementioned changes.
