#481: The _imaging C module is not installed on QGIS 2.12.x Windows 32 bits
-------------------+--------------------------------------
Reporter:  jhemmi  |      Owner:  osgeo4w-dev@…
    Type:  defect  |     Status:  new
Priority:  minor   |  Component:  Installer
 Version:          |   Keywords:  QGIS Matplotlib _imaging
-------------------+--------------------------------------
 I was following the QGIS issu #13192
 since two users of my plugin (PhysiocapAnalyseur) have experimented the
 error "The _imaging C module is not installed" when writing a tiff with
 Matplotlib.

 It seems to be an installation problem on Windows 32 bits only.

 I have reproduced the context problem on an old eeepc 32 bit with a fresh
 install of QGIS 2.12.2 ( QGIS-OSGeo4W-2.12.2-1-Setup-x86.exe )
 in the Console Python:
 > import PIL

 > from PIL import _imaging

 finish with "DLL load failed" on Windows 32 bits where
 > matplotlib.__version__
 '1.2.1'
 > PIL.Image.VERSION
 '1.1.7'


 It's OK on Linux or Windows 64 bits where
 >>> matplotlib.__version__
 '1.3.1'
 >>> PIL.VERSION
 '1.1.7'
