Is the Python Imaging Library not available on PyPI, or am I missing something?

PIL website: http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/
PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PIL/1.1.6

easy_install pil results in an error:

No local packages or download links found for pil

Any ideas?

Hm, forcing it to find-links seems to be working:

easy_install -f http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ Imaging

Got a heap of warnings along the way though. I’ll see how it turns out.

Hm. Now I have a PIL-1.1.6-py2.6-macosx-10.3-fat.egg in my site-packages, but I can’t actually import it. This is all very bizarre.

You are talking in a foreign language.

Actually, I can import it, but Django doesn’t seem to know about it.

Error: One or more models did not validate:
core.userprofile: “avatar”: To use ImageFields, you need to install the Python Imaging Library. Get it at http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ .

I’m using an ImageField in one of the my models.

For OSX, use http://py-pil.darwinports.com/

It was the only thing we could get to work (a few years ago).

@andrew Yeah, the situation hasn’t changed. That seems to have installed fine, thanks Andrew.
