PIL error: The _imaging C module is not installed

Question

I have PIL (Python imaging library) installed.

When I run Python:

import PIL
import Image
import _imaging

I don\'t get errors. Howe

Answer 1

I was completely missing the _imaging.* files in the lib/site-packages/PIL folder.

I downloaded the egg from here (the correct file depends on the platform):

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow/2.7.0

renamed it from .egg to .zipand copied all the files in the folderPILthat start with_imagingto the folderlib/site-packages/PIL`.

.. Problem solved
