Could it be you are using python 2.5 but only have the PIL modules for
version 2.4 installed?

------------------------------
Very much so,
I did not mean to install both of those version of Python.
I did an apt-get upgrade after the knoppmyth install. After everything
seemed
to be working. It wasn't until I had enough recordings that I tried to
use mytharchive
Why I have two versions is not clear to me.
I did go into mythburn.py and I changed the first line to request
python2.4 specifically.
I found on a different site that adding the version number would call
that specific version
at runtime. That did not change anything.
thanks
