I'm curious. What features do you need that pil doesn't have? Other than updating pil to fix bugs, support new image types or new versions of Python, what kind of active development do you think it needs to have? Maybe pil has all the features the original author wanted and is pretty stable. To judge a package on how fast it's changing seems a bit odd to me. Obviously you want to know that bugs can get fixed of course. Perhaps none have been reported recently. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
