Glymur: a Python interface for JPEG 2000
----------------------------------------
**Glymur** contains a Python interface to the OpenJPEG library
which allows linux and mac users to read and write JPEG 2000 files. For more
information about OpenJPEG, please consult http://www.openjpeg.org. Glymur
currently relies upon a development version of the OpenJPEG library, and so,
while useable, it is totally at the mercy of any upstream changes
made to the development version of OpenJPEG.
Glymur supports both reading and writing of JPEG 2000 images (part 1). Writing
**Glymur** is an interface to the OpenJPEG library
which allows one to read and write JPEG 2000 files from within Python.
Glymur supports both reading and writing of JPEG 2000 images. Writing
JPEG 2000 images is currently limited to images that can fit in memory,
however.

OpenJPEG Installation

The OpenJPEG library version must be either 1.5.1 or the trunk/development
version of OpenJPEG. Version 2.0.0 or versions earlier than 1.5.0
are not supported. Furthermore, the 1.5.x version of OpenJPEG is
currently only utilized for read-only purposes. For more information
about OpenJPEG, please consult http://www.openjpeg.org.
If you use MacPorts on the mac or if you have a sufficiently recent version of
Linux, your package manager should already provide you with at least version
1.5.1 of OpenJPEG, which means that glymur can be installed ready to read JPEG
2000 images. If you use windows, I suggest installing version 1.5.1 from
https://code.google.com/p/openjpeg/downloads/list .
If you wish to take advantage of more of glymur's features, however, then
you must compile OpenJPEG as a shared library from the developmental source
