Has a bug been logged about the issue?

The Plone community keeps a fairly up-to-date fork called Pillow,
we've had a lot of success using that locally:

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

Thanks for all your answers.

So it seems to be safe to use either Christoph' binary PIL distribution or to use Pillow.
The fact, that pillow is accessable via PyPi / easy_install / PIP pushes 
me slightly towards pillow.

I assume it's best to uninstall PIL before installing pillow.


How much would I confuse easy_install / pip in a normal windows
non virutal environment if I didn't uninstall PIP before (or even worse if I installed PIL, then pillow and uninstalled then PIL)
(Just anticipating all the smart thigns, that my collegues (or myself) 
might do

On a Linux machine:
What would happen in a virtualenv with sitepackages (amonst them PIL installed and a pillow installed ontop of it?
I don't think I can uninstall PIL, as many distro packages depend on it.
I don't want to create a virtualenv without site packages, as I have many dependencies and some of them are a little tricky to compile.
