Hmm... that's unfortunate.
What platform are you on? If Windows, then I believe that PIL is
statically linked against LibTIFF and that particular libtiff wasn't
compiled with certain options (CCITT formats or something.) (in 1999
that was true, I found a post from Fred here:

Does anyone know of an example of how to make a Python program only
run a single instance. I am specifically looking for examples for
win32.
I think I should be able to do this with win32all but the method is
not obvious. Preferably I would like to be able to get a handle to

On XP at least you have the environment variable "ProgramFiles".
You can fetch the path it holds through os.environ

I suppose, that the trick here is to state,
that not the moon, but the earth rotation relative
to the moon causes it, so putting the moon at
cause is considered wrong, because its existance
alone were not the cause for high and low
