Installing PIL to use with Django on Mac OS X

Question

I\'m really annoyed by installation of PIL (Python Imaging Library) on Mac OS X 10.6. Does anyone have it installed and could post the recipe here? I\'ve tried a lot of them

Answer 1

There is a packaging fork of PIL that attempts to make it easier to install and support on many modern platforms, including OS X:

• http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow/1.6

You should be able to install it on OS X with pip or easy_install (assuming you have XCode). If you have any trouble, please open a ticket here:
