I found myself wanting to do some image manipulation in Python with the Python Imaging Library on my N800. Unfortunately PIL isn’t available in the standard repositories. Not to worry, after reading the Debian Maintainers’ Guide I packaged up python2.5-imaging_1.1.6-1_armel.deb, built against python2.5 and maemo 3.0 (bora), and installs perfectly on my N800:
Nokia-N800-51:/media/mmc1# dpkg -i python2.5-imaging_1.1.6-1_armel.deb
Selecting previously deselected package python2.5-imaging.
(Reading database ... 13815 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking python2.5-imaging (from python2.5-imaging_1.1.6-1_armel.deb) ...
Setting up python2.5-imaging (1.1.6-1) ...
Nokia-N800-51:/media/mmc1# python2.5
Python 2.5 (r25:9277, Jan 23 2007, 15:56:37)
[GCC 3.4.4 (release) (CodeSourcery ARM 2005q3-2)] on linux2

>>> from PIL import Image
>>>Feel free to take a look at the directory listing for full source, diffs, etc. You might also want to check out debian/rules to see where to use setup.py in the makefile to build and install a Python package. If anyone wants a build of this for maemo-2.0/770 please let me know. It would just take a little time to set up a maemo-2.0 scratchbox.

Does that mean that the Python Camera API example at http://maemo.org/platform/docs/howtos/howto_camera_api_bora.html can now be modified to save JPEG files?
