PIL SANE interface: where can I find it?

Question

Apparently PIL includes a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) interface - I'm looking at code right now that does

import sane

where sane is provided by PIL.

I've installed PIL under both OS X and Windows, but "import sane" doesn't work for me. I did a fair bit of googling to see if there's something extra I need to install but I'm not finding anything.

How do I get the SANE interface for PIL?

I'm happy with any SANE interface (doesn't have to be PIL), so if you know of an alternative that would help too.

Answer 1

Disclaimer: I never used SANE.

I don't think that sane is provided with the PIL library.

It seems, instead, that the package you're looking for is called pysane.
