I have stuck when I compile these code in SageNotebook:

from PIL import Image
img=Image.open("/home/pmath/Music/im1.jpg") 
img2=img.convert("L")
img2.save("/home/pmath/Music/secretimage.pgm")
img=Image.open("/home/pmath/Music/secretimage.pgm")
pix=img.load()
print pix

The following errors occur :

Traceback (click to the left of this block for traceback)
...
IOError: decoder jpeg not available

But when I compile these codes with python on the same OS(ubuntu32bit 16.04) it works well. The problems occur only on Sage. How can i fix this issue?

How did you install Sage? Did you build it from source? Did you download a binary for your OS?

@slelievre I have installed Sage using the following terminal commands :

sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:aims/sagemath
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sagemath-upstream-binary

The aims/sagemath repository is no longer kept up-to-date.

Where did you find instructions to install Sage that way?

Which version of Sage did this get you? Sage 7.6?

There is now a Debian package, which you can install in Debian >= 9 and also in Ubuntu >= 18.04.

Just do

sudo apt-get install sagemath-jupyter

This will install Sage 8.1 and soon should offer Sage 8.3.

The problem comes from the fact that pillow is built without jpeg support (no idea why), see the file SAGE_ROOT/build/pkgs/pillow/spkg-install: https://git.sagemath.org/sage.git/tre...

If you want to fix the issue, and if you built Sage from source, you can :

  • install the (ubuntu) package libjpeg-dev
  • remove the line --disable-jpeg \ line in SAGE_ROOT/build/pkgs/pillow/spkg-install
  • recompile pillow with sage -f pillow

@tmonteil First of all thank you for your answer. According to you I have installed the (ubuntu) package libjpeg-dev, but the problem still remains. I have not found "https://git.sagemath.org/sage.git/tree/build/pkgs/pillow/spkg-install" in my OS.

If the directory of your Sage installation is /home/pmath/SageMath, then the file you are looking for is at /home/pmath/SageMath/build/pkgs/pillow/spkg-install. If the directory of your Sage installation is /opt/sagemath/, then it is at /opt/sagemath/build/pkgs/pillow/spkg-install. Etc.

To determine where the directory of your Sage installation is, you can run this command inside Sage:

sage: print(SAGE_ROOT)

@sleliere the Sage installation directory is : /usr/lib/sagemath, But there is no file "SAGE_ROOT/build/pkgs/pillow/spkg-install". Here is the list through terminal command

mks@mks-H81M-S:/usr/lib/sagemath/build$ ls
make
