[NameError] global name 'ImageDraw' is not defined

[fatihmert95]

Hi guys,

I am devoloping with Pillow and (Tkinter,BmpIma gePlugin,cStrin gIO,subprocess, ctypes,re .. n) modules

I am using this way when if this situation show me AttributeError

from PIL import *

I solve this code line with try-except

try:
	from PIL import *
except AttributeError: #module has no attribute ImageN
	import Image
	import ImageDraw
	import ImageFont

My orginal code part

class capsGen(object):
	def __init__(self):
		pass

	def videoGen(self,path):
		iv = InputVideoStream()
		iv.open(path)
		self.videoHead(path)
		print self.topDuration
		frameDiff = list(enumerate(iv.readframe())) #bmp -> [io][1]
		self.totalFrame = frameDiff [-1][0]
		#16 imgs
		self.genImgs = []
		curImg = 0
		while True:
			if curImg < 16:
				self.genImgs.append(randint(1,self.totalFrame))
				curImg = curImg + 1 
			else:
				break
		
		
		try:
			src = PIL.Image.open("src.png")
			ciz = PIL.ImageDraw.draw(src)
			ft = PIL.ImageFont.truetype("arial.ttf",32)
			ciz.text((190,15),self.fileName,font=ft) #fileName
			src.save("1.png")
			
			
			#print frameDiff[5][0]
			for i in self.genImgs:
				imj = PIL.Image.open(StringIO.StringIO(frameDiff[i][1])) #base io -> [capsNo][1]
				imj.save("%s.png"%i)
		except NameError:
			src = Image.open("src.png")
			ciz = ImageDraw.draw(src)
			ft = ImageFont.truetype("arial.ttf",32)
			ciz.text((190,15),self.fileName,font=ft) #fileName
			src.save("1.png")
			
			
			#print frameDiff[5][0]
			for i in self.genImgs:
				imj = Image.open(StringIO.StringIO(frameDiff[i][1])) #base -> [io][1]
				imj.save("%s.png"%i)

My error,

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "o.py", line 275, in (module)
    run = capsGen()
  File "o.py", line 42, in __init__
    self.videoGen() #for developers
  File "o.py", line 157, in videoGen
    ciz = ImageDraw.draw(src)
NameError: global name 'ImageDraw' is not defined

But I installed Pillow module and I create empty python file in import PIL or Image..N module are working. Its isn't just working on the my_project (o.py)

Than you for interest.
Good works.

It could be many things, including permission problems with the image file. Try the following code ("chairs.png ", from Manning's book, is attached for testing). Substitute your file name(s) and see what works and what does not, and then you can hopefully adapt to your program.

import Image, ImageDraw

image_name="chairs.png"
im = Image.open(image_name)
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(im)
draw.line((0, 0) + im.size, fill=255)
draw.line((0, im.size[1], im.size[0], 0), fill=128)

im.show()

Hello @dwblas,
I tried reference name like to you said to me.

And, I did invalid move, I forget Tkinter module in Image attribute

I changed this from Tkinter import *

import Tkinter as tk

And, my project file in some .open functions, I changed to these names.

Thank for interest.
Good works.
