Are you running the web2py binary for Windows? If so, switch to running the source code version of web2py if you want to make use of your own Python installation. The web2py binary comes with its own Python interpreter, so it won't use your machine's Python installation (with PIL). It's just as easy to run web2py from source if you've already got Python installed.
