Answer 2

I found that this is working

# source: http://nbviewer.ipython.org/gist/deeplook/5162445
from io import BytesIO

from IPython import display
from PIL import Image


def display_pil_image(im):
   """Displayhook function for PIL Images, rendered as PNG."""

   b = BytesIO()
   im.save(b, format='png')
   data = b.getvalue()

   ip_img = display.Image(data=data, format='png', embed=True)
   return ip_img._repr_png_()


# register display func with PNG formatter:
png_formatter = get_ipython().display_formatter.formatters['image/png']
dpi = png_formatter.for_type(Image.Image, display_pil_image)

After this I can just do:

pil_im

But this must be last line in cell, with no print after it

Answer 3

I suggest following installation by no image show img.show() (from PIL import Image)

$ sudo apt-get install imagemagick

Answer 4

Just use

from IPython.display import Image 
Image('image.png')

Answer 5

A cleaner Python3 version that use standard numpy, matplotlib and PIL. Merging the answer for opening from URL.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from PIL import Image
import numpy as np

pil_im = Image.open('image.jpg')
## Uncomment to open from URL
#import requests
#r = requests.get('https://www.vegvesen.no/public/webkamera/kamera?id=131206')
#pil_im = Image.open(BytesIO(r.content))
im_array = np.asarray(pil_im)
plt.imshow(im_array)
plt.show()

case python3

from PIL import Image
from IPython.display import HTML
from io import BytesIO

pil_im = Image.open('data/empire.jpg')
b = BytesIO()  
pil_im.save(b, format='png')
HTML("<img src='data:image/png;base64,{0}'/>".format(b64encode(b.getvalue()).decode('utf-8')))
