I actually didn't check that - I just wanted to point the OP to the numeric-module(s) available, as he suggested that >The usual way of doing such things is to use PIL (Python Image Library) >to load the image from file, then export it from PIL to a Python string >in order to import from this string to an array of the targeted >numerical module. I'd go for the getdata() method instead. >Really curious if there is a direct way in any of the numerical >packages, as it would save the time and effort of unnecessary >conversions from PIL, ImageMagick or from other image libraries. Whatever module is capable of converting needs to know how to read images - either by itself, or by means of another module. I know for sure that pygame supports retrieving pixel-data as array.
