Python 2.7 PyTesseract AttributeError: 'PixelAccess' object has no attribute 'split'

Question

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\Stuff\imagetotext.py", line 9, in <module>
    i = pytesseract.image_to_string(img)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pytesseract\pytesseract.py", line 143, in
image_to_string
    if len(image.split()) == 4:
AttributeError: 'PixelAccess' object has no attribute 'split'

So, I'm really not sure what to do with this. https://gyazo.com/63c6439285d629c72e9076c1b4a29a42 is test.png. I've tried a lot.

try:
    import Image
except ImportError:
    from PIL import Image
import pytesseract

img = Image.open('test.bmp').load()
#img.load()
i = pytesseract.image_to_string(img)
print i

I've read it might be a bug with PIL, but I just have no idea.

It is in the same folder. – Jul 15 '16 at 05:16
I think you don't have tesseract installed. – RAVI Jul 15 '16 at 05:26
I do, it imports fine. – Jul 15 '16 at 19:13
I am not talking about pytesseract, it is just a wrapper. You need tesseract installed in your system. Can you check in your command line if tesseract is there? like "tesseract image.tif image" – RAVI Jul 15 '16 at 19:17
