You can use `SetImageBytes` instead of `SetImage`. But there are some functions that have no raw alternative (e.g. `Get*Image`, `ProcessPage`). Tesseract internally uses Leptonica data structures for image data, so...
@mlorenzo-alice your code looks correct for grayscale AFAICT. The `len(np_image.shape) > 2` branch is not as convincing (because you can still have e.g. `RGBA`, `RGB`, `LA`, `L` channels), but I...

> `PIL.Image` objects and it seems you don't have it installed. IMHO `tesserocr` should have an `install_requires` with `PIL.Image`. I know you want to be more tolerant/flexible: https://github.com/sirfz/tesserocr/blob/1ba079f89a340187612e32258e58c0b88fa987ab/tesserocr.pyx#L26-L30 And you...
