PIL or Pillow ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PIL_ is almost dead, the last release was in 2009. If possible you should
prefer to use Pillow_, a fork of PIL which is actively developped, with
packaging improvements, Python 3 compatibility, etc.
You can install Pillow with ``pip install Pillow``, preferably in a
virtualenv_. To have JPG and PNG support, you must first install the
developpement packages of libjpeg, freetype2 and zlib.
- For Debian/Ubuntu, this is possible with::
apt-get build-dep python-dev python-imaging
- For Archlinux, there is a package_ for sigal in the AUR which already uses
Pillow.
