2.0

• Remove the GUI component because PySide is no longer supported by Python versions greater than 3.5
• The code is more organized and easier to understand.

pypi release

In this release

• Added setup.py for easy dependency resolution and pypi support.
  • Restructured the directories to reflect this.
  • You can now download the project from pypi. python3 -m pip install ascii_py
• Fixed a bug where ascii py didn't properly handle PIL.Image.getpixel() return values.

Spread your wings release

I have received a few patches from a couple of people and their code has made their way into my silly little script. Thank you to @Gnoxter and @abhikpal and to everyone in their continued interest in my ascii_py!

What's new?

New flags

• -d --density
  • Make colorful traditional ascii art as an image

I also added a Windows executable, compiled using Pyinstaller, for my Windows friends who don't want to go through the steps of installing everything.
