The problem is that installing his tarball with setuptools puts everything at the top level. "import ImageFile" works, but "import PIL" or any "from PIL import ImageFile" doesn't. All the code I have in any project uses imports from the PIL package. If you install the official PIL via it's normal setup.py without any setuptools involved, both incantations work. So you can do both "import ImageFile" and "from PIL import ImageFile" pointing to the same module. Thanks to pth file magic at work. setuptools doesn't do this kind of double installation, but sticks everything in one place. That place is either the top-level with the official distribution or the PIL package with the repackaged versions. In order for all my code to work, I need things to be inside the package and none at the top-level, as that creates conflicts with other modules of the same name, like in Zope2.
