ANN: mahotas-imread 0.5

[Luis Pedro Coelho]

Hi list,

I've just released a new version of imread to PyPI, version 0.5.

The main motivation for the release is that webp is now a
soft-dependency at compilation: it tries to detect libwebp and, if not
present, compilation proceeds without support for webp files.

There is now also initial support for format autodetection (using magic
numbers). This is especially useful in reading from blobs in memory
(previously, you needed to always explicitly pass in the format string).

MAHOTAS_IMREAD
--------------

Imread is a simple library to read/write image files. It just gets Bytes
in and out of numpy arrays and leaves image processing to more complex
packages such as skimage or mahotas.

It is MIT Licensed.

Get it from github:
http://github.com/luispedro/imread

or you can now pip install it:

pip install imread

Bug reports are welcome! Patches doubly so.
