python-imaging-tk is not auto-installed by easygui - error msg when displaying .jpg grahics

[Horst F JENS]

Binary package hint: python-easygui

easygui0.96-1 works great out of the box with pyton2.7 (tested on Ubuntu11.04), however it is missing a critical dependency:

the package python-imaging-tk is necessary to display jpg or png graphics with easygui. it python-imaging-tk is not installed, easygui can only display .gif graphics. If you try to display a jpg graphic easygui throws an (misleading) error message inside the easygui box saying that PIL need to be installed. This is misleading because not PIL (python-imaging) is needed but python-imaging-tk.

i suggest re-packaging the easygui package and including a dependency so that python-imaging-tk is auto-installed when installing easygui.

script to test display of .jpg graphic:
import easygui
easygui.msgbox("test for jpg","test","ok","mypicture.jpg")

I will fix this in the Debian package, the fix can then be synced to Ubuntu.
