My apologies - I meant PYTHONPATH.  I've tried installing with Fink
and setting up the soft links... same problem.  I tried installing PIL
via macPorts, but the install failed for reasons beyond my
understanding (gotta love useless error messages).

It's very, very bizarre.  The error output clearly shows the
PYTHONPATH containing my PIL module.  the PIL.pth file contains
"PIL".  If I run the app under shell ("python manage.py shell") and do
> from PIL import Image
it works fine.  If I runt the app via runserver and try to import
Image, it fails a horrible death.  Makes no sense.
