Ah, I'm so sorry, I totally thought pillow had moved into its own namespace (but of course that makes no sense if it's to be a drop-in replacement for PIL). To be honest, I never rely on the system install of Python to provide anything, and prefer to use buildout/setup.py to guarantee the development/installation environment is correct. I suspect (and hopefully someone with more virtualenv experience will speak up here) that you'll have to modify your PYTHONPATH within the virtualenv to point to your local install of pillow before the site packages. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
