ocrfeeder is incompatible with Pillow
@FelixSchwarz
Submitted by Felix Schwarz Link to original bug (#712671)
Description
Created attachment 260236 proposed patch - please note that this is completely untested as I could get ocrfeeder to build.
Pillow was a "friendly fork" of PIL and by now probably the de-facto successor of PIL (for example Fedora replaced PIL with Pillow). Currently ocrfeeder is not compatible with Pillow because it uses an ancient way to import the "Image" class.
Interestingly a similar fix was made in 0b6d8327 but only in a single file.
The issue was also reported in other places:
- https://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/35565/help-for-ocrfeeder/
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ocrfeeder/+bug/1120201
