    image_eps = 'test.eps'
    im = Image.open(image_eps)
    fig = im.convert('RGBA')

raise OSError("Unable to locate Ghostscript on paths")
OSError: Unable to locate Ghostscript on paths

the error comes from here: EpslmagePlugin.py


    for binary in ("gswin32c", "gswin64c", "gs"):
        if shutil.which(binary) is not None:
            gs_windows_binary = binary
            break
    else:
        gs_windows_binary = False

shutil = module 'shutil' from 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Python37_64\lib\shutil.py'

unfortunately i did not find a solution for the problem here or anywhere else.

what have I found and what have I done so far: stackoverflow enter image description here i added the Path C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.50\bin\ enter image description here

what I also don't quite understand is why pycharm gets the shutil from Microsoft Visual Studio.

Is there a `gs` in the directory you added to your PATH? – Mark Setchell Jan 15 '20 at 20:51
**How** did you add the extra PATH by the way? – Mark Setchell Jan 15 '20 at 20:53
Control Panel -> System -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables Edit PATH: C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.50\bin\ I added some Pictures in the post – Illu Jan 15 '20 at 20:55
Did you restart your computer after changing the PATH? Might be worth a try. – Mark Setchell Jan 15 '20 at 21:04
the good old restart. Problem solved :) – Illu Jan 15 '20 at 21:13
