Can not create or edit recipes

[David Parker]

Since upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04 last fall I can not enter or edit recipes in Gourmet Recipe Manager 0.17.4. When I try to, I get a blank page with two buttons "Save" or "Revert" neither appear to do anything. If I close and then re-open my recipe count is increased by one. The new recipe title is "New" and every things is blank. I have tried un-installing Gourmet and re-installing, and get the exact same error. I also can not export recipes unless I turn off the nutritional plug-in. Are there any solutions or suggestions? UPDATE:
I have included a TraceBack listing from trying to start while in Terminal.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gourmet/gtk_extras/ratingWidget.py", line 383, in cell_data_func
    pb = self.star_generator.get_pixbuf(int(val),self.upper)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gourmet/gtk_extras/ratingWidget.py", line 80, in get_pixbuf
    pb=self.get_pixbuf_from_image(img)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gourmet/gtk_extras/ratingWidget.py", line 138, in get_pixbuf_from_image
    image.tostring(),
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 628, in __getattr__
    raise AttributeError(name)
AttributeError: tostring

I have looked at the programming indicated above and searched for "tostring" without success. Some one else reported that the error was on line 628 of Image.py. Their suggestion was to change "tostring" to "tobytes". The version I have already has "tobytes" here. The only other reference I found to "tostring" was in an if-then statement.

I loaded the windows version using Wine. It works, read my recipes and allows me to edit and create recipes. This confirms my earlier thought that the problem is with the form for adding or editing recipes in the Linux version. I have checked the dependencies listed for Gourmet, and I have all required.

Also affects me. Will post this in case it may help troubleshooting.
