importing PIL image has problems

I want to work with Image module in PIL

If I do the following

   import PIL
    PIL.Image.open()

It says that there is no module named Image.

But the following works fine

    from PIL import Image

I am using a package and cant change PIL.Image.open()

how to overcome this problem.

Thanks

Duck typing to the rescue. PIL doesn't actually have to be a module, it just needs to be an object with the attribute Image.

>>> from PIL import Image
>>> class MakePIL(object):
    def __init__(self, Image):
        self.Image = Image

>>> PIL = MakePIL(Image)
>>> PIL.Image
<module 'PIL.Image' from 'C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.pyc'>
>>> PIL.Image.open(r'c:\temp\temp.jpg')
<PIL.JpegImagePlugin.JpegImageFile image mode=RGB size=400x250 at 0x2C88D78>

You could try:

from PIL import Image as MyImage

and work with MyImage
