Comment (by stromnov@…):

 Yes, Pillow is a fork of PIL, which incorporates some long awaited patches
 and supports py3k. (Actually, PIL 1.1.7 was released more than 4 years
 ago).

 PIL and Pillow use the same Python namespace 'PIL', so those packages
 can't be both installed at the same time.

 Also, Pillow is not 100%-compatible drop-in for PIL:

 PIL allows:
 {{{
 #!python
 import Image  # old style
 ...
 from PIL import Image
 ...
 import PIL.Image
 }}}
 while Pillow don't support first variant, and some outdated packages,
 which depends on old PIL style, will require some patching.
