Python demos

[Svetomech]

They simply doesn't work. "Can't import PIL package" or something. I tried installing PIL through pip, but it says it is incompatible with ev3dev.
Tried installing Pillow, failed (memory error at 99%).
So, what do I do? Or does this mean current state of Python binding is not stable enough to use?
Also, currently it is not clear if I should use Python binding contained in this repo or in https://github.com/topikachu/python-ev3 (it was updated quite a while ago, but I've seen at least one project successfully using it). I, for the record, tried the one that doesn't use virtualenv. Must I do the other way around?

I installed PIL with apt-get install python-pil, and it works for me. Can you try that? Do the rest of the demos work for you as is?

[Svetomech]

Well, not really. I followed your instructions in https://github.com/ddemidov/ev3dev-lang-python:

apt-get install libboost-python-dev python-setuptools python-pil
easy_install python-ev3dev

Then transferred 'demo' folder to the device using scp and tried launching .py files. None of them work.

The demos assume that certain devices are connected, and may fail otherwise. Can you try to connect the touch sensor to your ev3 and try the following?

>>> from ev3dev import *
>>> ts = touch_sensor()
>>> ts.connected
True
>>> ts.port_name
'in1'
>>> ts.value()
0

[Svetomech]

Works as intended, duh.

[ddemidov]

If you connect two large motors to ports B and C, an infrared and a touch sensor (to any ports), then remote-control.py should work for you. If it still does not, can you post the error message here?

May this be closed?

Sorry, forgot about the issue.
Eeyup.
