error in importing libtiff about pylibtiff

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The referred missing TIFF library is the libtiff binary.
You can crab it from
  http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/tiff.htm

Another approach would be to use pure Python TIFF support.
For that TIFF library support should be disabled by not
importing the libtiff.py module (e.g. edit __init__.py file
accordingly).

Hi,

I have the same problem. I installed first 'tiff-3.8.2-1.exe' and 
'pylibtiff-0.1-svn.win32.exe' afterward. And the libtiff location is listed 
under sys.path ...

So any ideas what to do?

Cheers, Sebi

Could you try adding the location of the libtiff dll file to the system PATH 
environment variable so that os.environ['PATH'] contains this location.
And then try importing libtiff.

I am encountering the same problem, I have tried all the suggestions except to 
use pure Python TIFF support (as I have no idea how to do this). Does anyone 
have a solution by now?

Thanks!

Hi,
I had/have the same problem. I work on debian with 0.3.0~svn78-3.1 and libtiff 
4.0.3. I was able to get a work around by copying 
/usr/share/pyshared/libtiff/tiff_h_4_0_1.py to my working directory and rename 
it tiff_h_4_0_3.py. It should work putting it in /usr/share/pyshared/libtiff 
but it didn't, but that's probably just because of a stupid mistake.

Good luck
Ben

If you use a 64-bit version of Windows, you should also copy libtiff3.dll to 
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\

I did this and it worked for me.

@Kevin: I have been struggled with this problem for almost whole day, and then 
this libtiff3.dll with 64-bit Windows 7 trick worked out, really nice. Thanks a 
lot!
