Missing Image module in python - ocrfeeder fails to start

[Barry Drake]

New installation of raring. ocrfeeder worked under raring previously, but now complains as follows:
barry@raring:~$ ocrfeeder
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ocrfeeder", line 31, in <module>
    from ocrfeeder.studio.studioBuilder import Studio
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ocrfeeder/studio/studioBuilder.py", line 21, in <module>
    from ocrfeeder.util import lib
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ocrfeeder/util/lib.py", line 23, in <module>
    import Image
ImportError: No module named Image

I have checked, and the python-imaging is installed and up-to-date for python 2.7. I imagine python has changed recently ....

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same problem. Just intalled OCRFeeder on Lubuntu 14.04 and get

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ocrfeeder", line 31, in <module>
    from ocrfeeder.studio.studioBuilder import Studio
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ocrfeeder/studio/studioBuilder.py", line 21, in <module>

Rm bug duplicate of one specifically for Raring, which is closed presicely for that: no more support in Raring. This bug is present in Trusty, as documented by Pablo San Martin, and i am experiencing the same problem in Utopic.

[Jerome Potts (jerome-potts)]

Fix: replace line "import Image" with "from PIL import Image" in the following 6 files:
/usr/share/pyshared/ocrfeeder/util/graphics.py
/usr/share/pyshared/ocrfeeder/util/lib.py
/usr/share/pyshared/ocrfeeder/studio/dataHolder.py
/usr/share/pyshared/ocrfeeder/studio/widgetPresenter.py
/usr/share/pyshared/ocrfeeder/feeder/imageManipulation.py
/usr/share/pyshared/ocrfeeder/feeder/layoutAnalysis.py

I can confirm that Jerome Potts solution works on ubuntu 14.04
