How to install python imagemagick at windows 7. I followed these instruction

Question

To install python IMagick binding wand api on windows 64 bit (python 2.6)

This is what I did:

1. downloaded and installed ImageMagick-6.5.8-7-Q16-windows-dll.exe

2. downloaded wand module from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Wand

3. after that i ran python setup.py install from wand directory,

4. then i executed step6. but i got the import error: magickband librarry not found

5. downloaded magickwand' module and executed 'python setup.py install' from magickwand directory.

6. then agian i tried this code

   from wand.image import Image
   from wand.display import display
   
   with Image(filename='mona-lisa.png') as img:
       print img.size
       for r in 1, 2, 3:
           with img.clone() as i:
               i.resize(int(i.width * r * 0.25), int(i.height * r * 0.25))
               i.rotate(90 * r)
               i.save(filename='mona-lisa-{0}.png'.format(r))
               display(i)
   

7. but thereafter again i am getting the same import error magickband library not found i am fed up with this coz i have done with all the installation. but not able to execute the code. coz everytime i am getting magickband libraray..import error.

What error? I can't think of an exception that sounds like "null type error" in python. – Hyssop

Error: expected string or Unicode object, NoneType found..my main concern is there any imagemagick python installation on windows which should support atleast linux and windows my first requirement is windows..i have tried with wand on windows but not succedded in instalation – Dye

Answer 1

You have to set MAGICK_HOME environment variable first. See the last part of this section.

Lastly you have to set MAGICK_HOME environment variable to the path of ImageMagick (e.g. C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.7.7-Q16). You can set it in Computer ‣ Properties ‣ Advanced system settings ‣ Advanced ‣ Environment Variables....
