Comment (by junkafarian):
In the mean time, a quick fix which saves you screwing around with
multiple core django files and will allow both recognised PIL import
behaviours:
{{{
>>> import Image
}}}
and
{{{
>>> from PIL import Image
}}}
is to write a PIL.py file in the egg directory which imports the necessary
PIL modules. For Django which requires "Image" and "!ImageFile" as pointed
out by haloween the following command should suffice:
{{{
junkafarian:~ junkafarian$ echo "import Image, ImageFile" >> /path/to/env
/site-packages/PIL-[version].egg/PIL.py
}}}
The major problem with this hack is that you will need to include all the
modules you require for the project in the import statement (which may be
more than just "Image" and "!ImageFile")
