Install   pip install Pillow   Then  Just import in your file like   from PIL import Image   I am using windows  It is working for me      NOTE       Pillow is a functional drop-in replacement for the Python Imaging   Library  To run your existing PIL-compatible code with Pillow  it   needs to be modified to import the Imaging module from the PIL   namespace instead of the global namespace    i e  change   import Image  to   from PIL import Image  https   pypi org project Pillow 2 2 1

Install Xcode and Xcode Command Line Tools as mentioned  Use Pillow instead  as PIL is basically dead  Pillow is a maintained fork of PIL   https   pypi org project Pillow  pip install Pillow  If you have both Pythons installed and want to install this for Python3  python3 -m pip install Pillow

I take it you re on Mac  See How can I install PIL on mac os x 10 7 2 Lion     If you use  homebrew     you can install the PIL with just brew   install pil   You may then need to add the install directory    brew   --prefix  lib python2 7 site-packages  to your PYTHONPATH  or add the location of PIL directory itself in a file called PIL pth file in   any of your site-packages directories  with the contents    usr local lib python2 7 site-packages PIL        assuming brew --prefix is  usr local        Alternatively  you can just download build install it from source     download curl -O -L http   effbot org media downloads Imaging-1 1 7 tar gz   extract tar -xzf Imaging-1 1 7 tar gz cd Imaging-1 1 7   build and install python setup py build sudo python setup py install   or install it for just you without requiring admin permissions    python setup py install --user       I ran the above just now  on OSX 10 7 2  with XCode 4 2 1 and System   Python 2 7 1  and it built just fine  though there is a possibility   that something in my environment is non-default        homebrew   http   mxcl github com homebrew   Homebrew

User · Answer

There s another Python package tool called conda  Conda is preferred  I believe  over pip when there are libraries that need to install C   and other bindings that aren t pure Python  Conda includes pip in its installation as well so you can still use pip  but you also get the benefits of conda    Conda also installs IPython  pil  and many other libraries by default  I think you ll like it
