python 3.x - Get all pixels of an Image [Wand] -

i using wand python library, , trying solve python challenge, , current problem asks me even/odd pixels.

this is, obviously, simple task. however, found wand library quite slow in loading pixels/copying pixels (maybe it's because change fill_color color of pixel each?), , wondering if load them in @ once.

my current solution loading pixels this:

from wand.image import image img = image(filename="5808.jpg") pixels = [] x in range(img.width+1):     y in range(img.height+1):         pixels.append(img[x, y])  print(pixels) 

i'd prefer this:

from wand.image import image img = image(filename="5808.jpg") print(img.pixels) 

is there akin that? in advance.

without attempting read python challenge, , focusing on question..

i'd prefer this: img.pixels

iterating on image size collect wand.color.color objects slow invokes repeated uses of magickwand's internal pixel iteration & pixel structure. said challenge python, , not c buffers, i'd recommend getting buffer of pixel data once. after freely able iterate, compare, evaluate, & etc. without need of imagemagick resource.

for example, i'm assuming images 2x2 png below (scaled visibility.)

from wand.image import image  # prototype local variables pixels = [] width, height = 0, 0 blob = none  # load image image(filename='2x2.png') image:     # enforce pixels quantum between 0 & 255     image.depth = 8     # save width & height later use     width, height = image.width, image.height     # copy raw image data blob string     blob = image.make_blob(format='rgb')  # iterate on blob , collect pixels cursor in range(0, width * height * 3, 3):     # save tuple of color values     pixels.append((blob[cursor],      # red                    blob[cursor + 1],  # green                    blob[cursor + 2])) # blue print(pixels) #=> [(255, 0, 0), (0, 0, 255), (0, 128, 0), (255, 255, 255)] 

this example pretty quick, remember python objects well. let's extend image object, , create method satisfy img.pixels.

# lets create generic pixel class easy color management class mypixel(object):     red = 0     green = 0     blue = 0     def __init__(self, red=0, green=0, blue=0):         self.red = red         self.green = green         self.blue = blue     def __repr__(self):         return u'#{0.red:02x}{0.green:02x}{0.blue:02x}'.format(self)  # extend wand.image.image , add new `img.pixels` pseudo-attribute class myimage(image):     # repeat above example     @property     def pixels(self):         pixels = []         self.depth = 8         blob = self.make_blob(format='rgb')         cursor in range(0, self.width * self.height * 3, 3):             pixel = mypixel(red=blob[cursor],                             green=blob[cursor + 1],                             blue=blob[cursor + 2])             pixels.append(pixel)         return pixels  # call custom class; which, collects custom pixels myimage(filename=filename) img:     print(img.pixels) #=> [#ff0000, #0000ff, #008000, #ffffff]
