[SOLVED] OpenERP 7 IOError: decoder zip not available

IOError: decoder zip not available

its an error while you use PIL or Pillow with python-imaging together. On my case : with this environment :

Openerp 7
Ubuntu 13.10 x64

i've got an error as below : 

then i test on console, its seem running

>>> from PIL import Image>>> 

but, still error while installing some modules. 

well, the solution is : 

1. remove python-imaging

sudo apt-get remove python-imaging

2. find your libz.so 

find . -iname libz.so 

3. create link (its depend on your libz.so)

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so /usr/lib

4. re-install PIL

sudo pip uninstall PIL

sudo pip install PIL

then you will see the last result is :

You can test with this simple script :

import urllib
from PIL import Image
import StringIO
file = StringIO.StringIO(urllib.urlopen('https://fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net/rsrc.php/v2/yi/r/OBaVg52wtTZ.png').read())
img = Image.open(file)
img = img.crop((0, 0, 400, 600))

if it running, then you are ready to work on.
