Custom engine

[Collederas]

Hi guys,

at the moment the official library to handle all images is PIL. You can, as stated in the docs, use other libraries by defining a custom source_generator.

I am trying to do so, because I need to use wand, a python wrapper around imagemagick.

Everything works fine except the fact that all the methods in engine.py are tailored to PIL. In particular the save_image() method calls image.save() with a lot of arguments that are not existent in, for example, wand.

My question then is: if the source_generator is customizable in the settings, why not making customizable also the engine?

Thanks for the attention!
Best,

Fabrizio

Hi Fabrizio, you should check out my https://github.com/SmileyChris/easy-images alpha and see if the ideas there would be easier to work with. I'd love some feedback :)
