flifcrush does not work

[StephanBusch]

After having installed Python 2.7 and PIL 1.7 for Win x32 and opening main.py in Python Shell
and pressing F5 for running that script, an error message appears:

print(progress_array[arr_index] + " " + str(count) + ": "  + str(func_arg) +  ", size: " + str(size_new) + " b        ", end="\r",flush=True)

where the "=" is marked red.

Do the main.py and flifcrush need to be in a special folder?
And present they are in the folder of the test images.

Hi, you'll need python3.

[StephanBusch]

I installed Python 3.5.1 before and tried to install PIL afterwards -
PIL said it needs Python 2.7 - it could not be installed with Python 3.5.1

[matthiaskrgr]

Hmm. What distribution do you use? Perhaps there is a separate python3 pil package?

[StephanBusch]

there is no PIL package for Python3

[StephanBusch]

I am using this win32 version:
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2711/

Ok, it looks like I got confused, sorry about that.
The package I use via "from PIL import Image" is not pil but pillow, (a fork of pil) which is available for python3 .
http://python-pillow.org/

Windows install instructions are here

[StephanBusch]

can you please create a .bat file that does flifcrush on windows?

[matthiaskrgr]

I don't own any machines that run windows, sorry.

[StephanBusch]

May it be possible for you to translate FLIFcrush to Perl?

[matthiaskrgr]

I don't know perl :/
