I recently tried using MacPorts to install the python module py-pil (Python Imaging Library, http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/index.htm) and it seemed to install successfully.  However, when I tried to execute "import Image" from the Python interpreter (according to the tutorial http://www.pythonware.com/library/pil/handbook/introduction.htm), the error "ImportError: No module named Image" was returned (N.B. the interpreter shows that it is configured for Python 2.6.4).  At the terminal I get the following:

The py-pil port is for python 2.4. For python 2.6, you want the py26-pil port.
