version 0.17.4 Browse option doesn't show recipes (Ubuntu)

[Mike Strickland]

How to duplicate problem (Category example given, but error occurs for all options):

Open Browse tab
Double-click Category
Double-click any group that is presented
No recipes are shown

This is a result of a depreciated command call.

Relevant part of error message in terminal:

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gourmet/plugins/browse_recipes/icon_helpers.py", line 41, in get_pixbuf_from_image
    image.tostring(),
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 695, in tostring
    "Please call tobytes() instead.")
Exception: tostring() has been removed. Please call tobytes() instead.

Solution:

Replace 'tostring' (line 41) in the icon_helpers.py script with 'tobytes'

Gourmet requires an older version of Pillow (version 2.x).

If you used 'pip' to install your current Pillow version then use 'pip install Pillow==2.1.0' to get v2.1.0.

If you used 'apt get' to install Pillow, 'apt remove pillow' and install v2.1.0 using 'pip install Pillow==2.1.0'

I hope this helps.
