R: Problem with OpenSlide Python

[Francesco Daneluzzi]

I solved by running OpenSlide on Python 2.7 instead of 3.5. The same code now works and w and h are float. I don’t know if this can help you. I post you my configuration:
- Anaconda Python 5.0.1 with 2.7 env (previously 3.5)
- Windows 10 Edu (x64)
- OpenSlide 1.1.1 installed from whl



However, thanks for the answer.

Kind regards,
Francesco

Hi Francesco,

Are you using a modified version of OpenSlide Python?  Upstream OpenSlide
Python 1.1.1 doesn't have that float conversion:

    https://github.com/openslide/openslide-python/blob/v1.1.1/openslide/lowlevel.py#L258

Note that w and h must be int, not float.
