Hi Olivier, Hi Anurag, in fact, PIL is also used to verify if the file that was uploaded is a valid image when ImageField is used. So the problem may in fact be due to PIL.
@Anurag: Make sure to have libjpeg-dev and libpng-dev installed, then try to install PIL again using "pip install PIL --upgrade" (or removing and re-installing it). Maybe PIL can't compile the code necessary to open these image formats (it should print that somewhere when compiling the module).
