PIL and ReportsLab error

[Jason Koch]

Hello,
I am trying to produce pdf files from tiffs and I keep getting this
error. Does anyone
have any tips on this one. I am using the ReportLab package with the PIL.

File "C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 309, in
_getdecoder
raise IOError("decoder %s not available" % decoder_name)
IOError: decoder group4 not available

Thanks,

PIL doesn't support compressed TIF files. You must
uncompress them prior to trying to place them. I
use tiffcp utility via os.system call to uncompress
TIF files, then place them into my .PDF file.
