There is no standard library module by that name; no first-party versions of Python include such a module. Thus, it's no surprise that your import throws an exception. > so can anybody recommend a version of python which include image libary, I can only guess that your "image" library refers to either the "Image" (capitalization matters!) *submodule* of PIL (http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ ), or the "Image" class of Tkinter (http://docs.python.org/library/tkinter.html#images ). The former requires installation of PIL, and would then be correctly imported via: from PIL import Image The latter is typically built as part of a default Python installation and would be correctly imported via: from Tkinter import Image # Python 2.x or: from tkinter import Image # Python 3.x Cheers, Chris -- http://rebertia.com
