Opening Photoshop EPS with PIL?

Hey Everyone,

I am trying to get PIL to open some EPS files I have (Photoshop EPS,
whatever the difference is). I'm trying to use PIL to do this, but
when I run it, the following happens:

from PIL import Image, ImageOps
Image.open('/flora.eps')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in ?
File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line
1741, in open
return factory(fp, filename)
File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PIL/ImageFile.py", line
82, in __init__
self._open()
File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PIL/EpsImagePlugin.py",
line 206, in _open
raise IOError, "bad EPS header"

I've never had any real trouble with PIL before (never used it for EPS
though). Can anyone offer any advice on this one? I'd be most
grateful.

Many Thanks Everyone,
Oliver Beattie
