Saving PIL images to an animated GIF

upwart

I am trying to save a couple of PIL images into a GIF with something like

      img[0].save('test.gif',
         save_all=True, append_images=img[1:])

This works well on a Windows machine, but on Pythonista, it seems to save only the first image,in other words, not animated.

Does this have to do with the version of PIL?

Is there a workaround?

PILlow in pythonista is version 2.9. append_images was added in like 3.4-

@jonb
Thanks for pointing me in the direction of images2gif. That seems to work, but it is painfully slow. Pity Pythonista does not include a more recent version of PIL(low).

@omz
Please update Pythonista to a more recent version of PIL(low).
