Why can't Python import Image from PIL?

Question

The single line that I am trying to run is the following:

from PIL import Image

However simple this may seem, it gives an error:

Answer 1

All the answers were great however what did it for me was a combination of uninstalling Pillow

pip uninstall Pillow

Then installing whatever packages you need e.g.

sudo apt-get -y install python-imaging
sudo apt-get -y install zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get -y install libjpeg-dev

And then using easy_install to reinstall Pillow

easy_install Pillow

Hope this helps others
