How to assign image components in pyvips?

Question

I am using the pyvips library which has a special object for images, these objects have the 3 bands corresponding to HSV (or other) colour space components. The problem is that, after filtering one of the HSV components, it is not allowed to assign it again to the ogirinal image. On this code you can see what is written and the error.

import pyvips
image = pyvips.Image.new_from_file('image.jpg', access='sequential')
image_hsv= image.colourspace("hsv")
result = image_hsv[0].hist_local(40, 40, max_slope=5)
image_hsv[0] = result

TypeError: 'Image' object does not support item assignment

I also tried assigning directly a numpy array to the image_hsv[0] but neither worked.

Answer 1

It worked for me finally by avoiding the auxiliary variables.

image = pyvips.Image.new_from_file('image.jpg', access='sequential')
image_hsv= image.colourspace("hsv")
image_hsv[0].hist_local(40, 40, max_slope=5)
