Simple Multimedia Classes

Current Version: v0.8.12

This project offers students access to a simple RGB Image class, which is built on the use of the Image module in the PIL package. As PIL is no longer updated for Python 3, this package relies on Pillow.

This package assumes that the user is using at least Python 3.4.

If you have not installed Python 3.4.2 or greater, please download it from python.org.

INSTALLATION on WINDOWS

If you are using Windows, make sure to check the option to add the python.exe to your path. PIP will not work otherwise. Be sure to change the red X to the same symbols as the above options

Windows 8 users will also need to download and install the numpy package manually from the link given.

Please start the Command Prompt program and try typing python. If you get back the error message "python" is not a recognized command, please restart your computer.
