Question

My code reads:

import Image
def generateThumbnail(self, width, height):
    """
    Generates thumbnails for an image
    """
    im = Image.open(self._file)

When I call this function, I get an error:

⇝ AttributeError: type object 'Image' has no attribute 'open'

However in the console:

import Image
im = Image.open('test.jpg')

I have no problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

It’s odd that you’re getting an exception about Image being a type object, not a module. Is ‘Image’ being assigned to elsewhere in your code?
