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

[Goury (madoo)]

No it's not, stop lying, there was no updates for years

[cpesc (cpesc-free)]

I tryed tis morning to make a new user (without importing my prévious
home content) under my 17.04 ubuntu.

It says Fix Released. It is to be available soon? This is probably the last thing that stops me from switching from Ubuntu 16.10. Thanks!

PS: this is my output when running from terminal:

GOURY, i'm not lyer
i had take time to make a full installation ..... phatch is not working!

please try to install a new brand 1704 ubuntu
after, install all updates proposed

to have phatch proposed, add Canonical partner to other software.
and finally install phatch by unbutu software buton.
it's impossible to run phatch under unbutu 1704.
Please change status of this bug try tu make this simple install i propose you.
I plan to return in 1604 if bugs aren't solved.
Bugs could be about more in python environment that in installed by canonical partner.

I tried something and for me it seems to be working now.

Go to line 2027 and disable the check that gives that error (I do not see fit to check some image size on startup, it makes no sense anyway); it should look like this:
` """if not isinstance(size, (list, tuple)):
  raise ValueError("Size must be a tuple")
 """`

I am not sure everything will be working, but for me, it did start, shrink a folder of pictures and added the watermark.

PS: I hope my fix is just temporary, I would not like to have to edit a file (and maybe also get some secondary bugs because of the edit).
PS2: skip the ` sign from the above code, you only need the 3 double quotes to open/close commenting area (to disable code between).

@florin 's solution of 2017-05-06 worked for me also - for the benefit of people who might be a bit stuck with implementing it - as I would have been a few years ago:

Open terminal
sudo nautilus (or whatever your file manager is - enter your admin password at prompt)

this will open your file manager with admin rights

navigate to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/Image.py

open this file with a text editor or - my preferred option - Bluefish (this means you can just enter the line number to find the bit to change)

Comment out the lines (or just copy and paste this

` """if not isinstance(size, (list, tuple)):
  raise ValueError("Size must be a tuple")
 """`

to replace the un-commented lines

Save the file

Run Phatch jut like you did on 14.x :)
