“IOError: decoder zip not available” : Ubuntu Python PIL

Question

I am trying to get the sample heatmap.py running from: http://jjguy.com/heatmap/

#image.py
import heatmap
import random

if __name__ == \"__main__\":    
            


        

Answer 1

even you test with

from PIL import image

is okay, but there is still error on save/decode methods.

you can try my steps: (base on my case, openerp 7 with ubuntu 13.10)

1. remove python image
2. locate your libz
3. reinstall PIL
