Roadmap ======= Very future versions -------------------- CFFI Wand will move to CFFI from ctypes. PIL compatibility layer PIL has a very long history and most Python projects still depend on it. We will work on a PIL compatibility layer using Wand. It will provide two ways to emulate PIL: - Module-level compatibility which can be used by changing :keyword:`import`:: try: from wand.pilcompat import Image except ImportError: from PIL import Image - Global monkeypatcher which changes :attr:`sys.modules`:: from wand.pilcompat.monkey import patch; patch() import PIL.Image # it imports wand.pilcompat.Image module CLI (:program:`convert` command) to Wand compiler (:issue:`100`) The primary interface of ImageMagick is the :program:`convert` command. It provides a small *parameter language*, and many answers on the Web contain code using this. The problem is that you can't simply copy-and-paste these snippets of code to utilize Wand. This feature is to make these CLI codes possible to be used with Wand.
