Hi Jeff,
I was looking for video-handling inside python, so i googled python+video, and i bumped into the screencasts of python. I am certainly going to watch more screencasts, because they kind of summarize the huge amount of available documents. In our company we maintain a wiki about python-stuff, and i am going to add several links to video-screencasts for inside-educational purpose to guide new python-collegues into the python-world.
Thanx,
John Hendriks,

great video ... I hope it will be on the web for a long time
I really enjoyed your presentation of what is available in the PIL package. I am a frequent user of ImageMagick and Perl and have just recently begun using Python in place of Perl. I am exploring removing ImageMagick all together and your brief informational helped. Thanks
Great job! You were very easy to understand and went at a nice pace. You could try to make it a little more interesting somehow (its programming, i know :P), but thats really the only thing I could pluck out.
Jeff is a teacher at heart.
This was interesting enough that I am encouraged to investigate the PIL. I need to 'thin out' large images, ie to produce an image that looks more or less the same as the original, but much smaller in byte-volume terms. (Reducing color palettes and pixel depth, removing every other pixel, or whatnot.) Looks like the PIL might have all I need. Thanks for the video.
thanks Jeff.
quite useful for a new programmer trying to decide wether he will or not step forward to this language.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Now... how to use it.
for my chess server
Nice quick inrto! Thanks!
Thanks for putting these 'casts' together.
very nice overview of PIL
Good overview of functionality, and good place to get started.
Very good to have a basic notion.
What you just presented is very useful fur beginners!
Thank you!
Anon, yes a follow-on video would be good. It is hard to do interactive stuff in 5-min, so what I generally do is summarize capabilities of some piece of software in the 5-min version, and then create a longer follow-on that goes into the details, for those who decide it is something they want to dig into. I've not yet done the longer video for PIL.
Congratulations for the video.
Very straight forward to show the capabilities of the library.
However I suggest to have something a bit more interactive for the programmers like showing some code examples for all or at least some of the capabilities presented.

This provides a high level overview of PIL. I don't have an immediate need, but I'll look up the API to see how the capabilities are implemented and specifically what formats are supported. I don't see any equivalent library for SVG - do you know if there are any?
