Now, skimage module is not installed at datalore.io, and it cannot be imported into any code at datalore.io.
skimage can be used for loading images from the interenet, and it is essential for creating content with external references. For example, the following code could be useful for me:
import matplotlib as mpl
import skimage
from urllib.request import urlopen
from io import BytesIO
from PIL import Image
from skimage import io
url = 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Torus_cycles.svg/220px-Torus_cycles.svg.png’
response = urlopen (url)
buf = BytesIO (response.read ())
im = Image.open (buf)
a = io.Image (im)
io.imshow (a)
io.show ()
