How to import two different things called the same from different modules?

Question

I have two modules, first one is PIL, and the second one is wand, which I import from PIL and wand something called Image, and there is conflict, how do I overcome this problem?

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw

img = Image.new('RGB', (1600,1600), (0,0,0)) 
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)

red = (255,0,0)
for x in range(0, 1600, 200):
    for y in range(0, 1600, 200):
        draw.rectangle(((0+x,0+y),(99+x,99+y)), red)
for x in range(100, 1600, 200):
    for y in range(100, 1600, 200):
        draw.rectangle(((0+x,0+y),(99+x,99+y)), red)


from wand.image import Image
img.swirl(degree =-90)

img

I have this error...

AttributeError: swirl

EDIT

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw

img = Image.new('RGB', (1600,1600), (0,0,0)) 
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)

top = (255,0,0)

for x in range(0, 1600, 200):
    for y in range(0, 1600, 200):
        draw.rectangle(((0+x,0+y),(99+x,99+y)), top)
        
for x in range(100, 1600, 200):
    for y in range(100, 1600, 200):
        draw.rectangle(((0+x,0+y),(99+x,99+y)), top)

from wand.image import Image as ooo
        
with ooo(img) as img:
    img.swirl(degree =-90)

img

I tried like this but got this error...

TypeError: image must be a wand.image.Image instance, not <PIL.Image.Image image mode=RGB size=1600x1600 at 0x7FE681031600>

Answer 1

You can either use an alias as mhmtsrmn described:

from wand.image import Image as <an_alias>

Or you can simply import modules and use full names:

import PIL
import wand.image

img = PIL.Image.new('RGB', (1600,1600), (0,0,0)) 
draw = PIL.ImageDraw.Draw(img)

with wand.image.Image(filename='file.png') as wand_img:
   ...

This might also help clear misunderstanding around your issue: .swirl() is a function on wand.image.Image, not on PIL.Image. Since these are two separate classes, you cannot simply call .swirl() on an instance of PIL.Image.

Answer 2

from wand.image import Image as <an_alias>
