scipy.misc module has no attribute imread?
dependencies, installation, python, python-imaging-library, scipy
Solution
You need to install Pillow (formerly PIL). From the docs on `scipy.misc`:
Note that Pillow is not a dependency of SciPy but the image manipulation functions indicated in the list below are not available without it:
...
`imread`
...
After installing Pillow, I was able to access `imread` as follows:
In [1]: import scipy.misc
In [2]: scipy.misc.imread
Out[2]: <function scipy.misc.pilutil.imread>
Problem
I am trying to read an image with scipy. However it does not accept the `scipy.misc.imread` part. What could be the cause of this? ``` >>> import scipy >>> scipy.misc <module 'scipy.misc' from 'C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\scipy\misc\__init__.pyc'> >>> scipy.misc.imread('test.tif') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#11>", line 1, in <module> scipy.misc.imread('test.tif') AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'imread' ```
