Suggested images2gif not available

[mariocastrogama]

Hello, installed PRIM, Platypus & Rhodium w/o issues. However, some examples require images2gif

Tried to install with conda (win) but it triggers:

'PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available ...'

• images2gif

Thanks for reporting this. I'm seeing the same issue trying to use conda.

I was able to install images2gif on Anaconda 2 using pip install images2gif.

However, this does not work on Anaconda 3. The package installs fine, but it shows the error "cannot import name readGif" when importing images2gif. Seems to be a known issue where images2gif uses Python 2 relative imports which do not work on Python 3: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32674597/python-import-problems-with-image2gif.

For now, to get it on Anaconda 3, you'd need to follow the steps outlined on Stackoverflow and modify the images2gif source to fix the import issue.

I'll investigate if a more permanent solution or replacement is available.

Thanks. The modifications did not work. Only the gif will be lost. The rest seems to be working ok.
