Note that this is a test script thats not run as part of the build,
however, it is shipped in the rpm for people to use, so we do need to
fix it.
Can you whip up a patch? Otherwise I can try and do so...
I would suggest to simply
remove the imports of _imaging, _imagingmath
and _imagingft, since
- They are "low-level" modules which are imported by the "high-level"
Imaging* modules. If they are missing, the import of the high-level
Imaging module fails.
- They are never imported directly elsewhere in the calibre codebase.
A corresponding patch is here [1].
