Comment (by stromnov@…):
Yes, Pillow is a fork of PIL, which incorporates some long awaited patches
and supports py3k. (Actually, PIL 1.1.7 was released more than 4 years
ago).
PIL and Pillow use the same Python namespace 'PIL', so those packages
can't be both installed at the same time.
Also, Pillow is not 100%-compatible drop-in for PIL:
PIL allows:
{{{
#!python
import Image # old style
...
from PIL import Image
...
import PIL.Image
}}}
while Pillow don't support first variant, and some outdated packages,
which depends on old PIL style, will require some patching.
