I could be wrong, but the way I have understood things is that initial PIL people put stuff at global module level. After a while they possibly realised their evil ways and pushed things into a PIL package. To maintain compatibility with older way they did things they add a PIL.pth file containing 'PIL'. In other words both: import Image and: from PIL import Image work. I personally would suggest that any code which doesn't import it out of PIL package should be changed as it is propagating bad practice. Thus, if Django is saying just: import Image then it probably should be changed. Anyway, my 2 cents worth.
