effbot.org was down for a bit this morning, due to scheduled site maintenance combined with some fumbling from my side when reconfiguring things.  Should be up and running again.

online.effbot.org is still broken, though. Working on it.

spent parts of last week and the weekend in Florence (*) which was awesome as usual (both the city and the conference).

since I'm lazy, I didn't see all the talks I should have seen, and I also didn't attend the full sprints, but dropped by to say hi, and also ran my own micro-sprint (until the laptop battery ran out) which I used to add support for a new file format to PIL:

>>> from PIL import Image
>>> im = Image.open("Images/lena.webp")
>>> im
<PIL.WebPImagePlugin.WebPImageFile image mode=RGB size=128x128 at 0x7F00EB3D0350>

the code supports reading and writing RGB images only (which is the only pixel layout currently supported by the WebP format). the only option is "quality" which ranges from 1-100 (0 being "default", which currently corresponds to 75). some examples:

>>> im.save("out.webp")
>>> os.path.getsize("out.webp")
3350
>>> im.save("out.webp", quality=50)
>>> os.path.getsize("out.webp")
2824
>>> im.save("out.webp", quality=20)
>>> os.path.getsize("out.webp")
1758

 the current snapshot can be found in the development repository, as usual.

*) well, I ended up spending Monday there as well, which was less awesome -- the Swiss flight was cancelled due to mechanical problems, and then they had me stand in line for 3.5 hours to get a new booking. 24 hours later. yay! and when I finally made it to Zurich, SBB was late too -- it took 13 minutes longer than usual to make it home. outrage.

still a ton of work to do, but it's a start:

$ tar xvfz PIL-1.2a0.tar.gz
...
$ cd PIL-1.2a0/
$ python3 setup.py install --prefix .
...

$ cd lib/python3.1/site-packages/
$ python3

Python 3.1.2 (r312:79147, Apr 15 2010, 15:35:48) 
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from PIL import Image
>>> im = Image.open("../../../Images/lena.png")
>>> im
<PIL.PngImagePlugin.PngImageFile image mode=RGB size=128x128 at 0xE6B1D0>
>>>

the current 1.2a0 snapshot can be found in the development repository.

It's not entirely obvious to me why they thought SVT belonged in there, with all the US networks.

A bit more interactive than your usual "choose your own adventure"-style video... (and don't worry, nobody's hurt).
