_imaging C module ImportError when opening GIF files on Windows or OS X

[glutanimate]

Cf. https://anki.tenderapp.com/discussions/add-ons/7506-image-occlusion-2-error

Looks like we're missing a number of precompiled binaries that would be required for GIF support on Windows and OS X (and Linux distros that don't ship with PIL preinstalled).

Maybe this library can help: https://github.com/shibukawa/imagesize_py.
It seems to be pure python and contains no binaries.
Unless you're now using PIL for something more than getting the image size.
It only supports PNG, GIF and JPEG, but that's probably enough for most users, and you cna always keep PIL as a fallback.
Disclaimer: I've never tried it

Oh, that looks interesting! Thanks for the heads-up! I'll definitely give it a try when I find the time.

Just pushed a commit to main that implements this library with PIL as a fallback. Thanks again for the suggestion, @tmbb !
