Python PIL, Image. Error after image.load()

Question

I'm trying to load my .jpg file and it raises error, but if I try it again, it's ok! Why??

My code and error:

>>> import Image
>>> im1 = Image.open('/tmp/test.jpg')
>>> im1.load()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/PIL/ImageFile.py", line 201, in load
raise IOError("image file is truncated (%d bytes not processed)" % len(b))
IOError: image file is truncated (0 bytes not processed)
>>> im1.load()
<PixelAccess object at 0x7feffc2a1170>
>>>

Thank you!

I had this same issue and came up with a solution which I discuss here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/23575424/3622198.

Somewhere before your code block, simply add the following:

from PIL import ImageFile
ImageFile.LOAD_TRUNCATED_IMAGES = True

... and you should be good to go!

EDIT: It looks like this helps for the version of PIL bundled with Pillow ("pip install pillow"), but may not work for default installations of PIL
