I had PIL installed without jpeg support and I want to add support. I installed the jpeg library as described. Then using pip, uninstalled and reinstalled pil. At the end of the PIL setup, I get the following print in the console that looks promising -------------------------------------------------------------------- PIL 1.1.7 SETUP SUMMARY -------------------------------------------------------------------- version 1.1.7 platform darwin 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Aug 5 2011, 03:30:24) [GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)] -------------------------------------------------------------------- --- TKINTER support available --- JPEG support available --- ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support available --- FREETYPE2 support available *** LITTLECMS support not available -------------------------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately, if I start ipython and type > import Image > im = Image.open("test.jog") > im.show() I get IOError: decoder jpeg not available I made sure that I'm using the same python install everywhere. If I uninstall PIL using PIP, then "import Image" fails. If you have any advise, let me know. Thanks Mathieu Hello guys,

This seems super simple but something is still wrong on my machine.

I had PIL installed without jpeg support and I want to add support. I installed the jpeg library as described. Then using pip, uninstalled and reinstalled pil.

At the end of the PIL setup, I get the following print in the console that looks promising
——————————————————————–
PIL 1.1.7 SETUP SUMMARY
——————————————————————–
version 1.1.7
platform darwin 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Aug 5 2011, 03:30:24)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)]
——————————————————————–
— TKINTER support available
— JPEG support available
— ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support available
— FREETYPE2 support available
*** LITTLECMS support not available
——————————————————————–

Unfortunately, if I start ipython and type
> import Image
> im = Image.open(“test.jog”)
> im.show()
I get
IOError: decoder jpeg not available

I made sure that I’m using the same python install everywhere. If I uninstall PIL using PIP, then “import Image” fails.

If you have any advise, let me know.
Thanks
Mathieu

It'll be worth waiting for a bit I guess. PIL website (http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/) seems to be down, so that may be the issue, no package downloads are available at the moment.

In this folder, there is a shell script. I run this script and miracle ! the default python is now 2.7.3. Something remains strange for my poor mind: I only have to do this on the student's account. On the teacher's account, the version is naturally 2.7.3 Bref, je comprends pas tout (mais je me soigne) !

Also I would recommend uninstalling the version that you don't want to avoid confusion. Alternatively, you can install PIL on each version by calling the install script with the python version, eg: python2.7.2 setup.py install Still you'll be better of with one version only!

Still you’ll be better of with one version only!

When I use IDLE (on both accounts) PIL is found. When I use CodeRunner (a light code editor) PIL is found on the first account (admin) but not on the second one. I think the problem is in the "Run command" on this software (which launch python 2.7.2 instead of 2.7.3). So, do you know what is the command (in terminal) to "force" python 2.7.3 to be the default version ? Thanks for any help (and sorry for my poor english) Well, I have two users account on the mac:
