PIL + ReportLab vs Pillow

[Glenn Ramsey]

Hi,

Is there a way that I can have both PIL and Pillow installed at the same time?

PIL 1.1.7 has a bug that affects my code, and the bug is fixed in Pillow. The 
py27-pil and py27-Pillow packages are mutually exclusive so I can't have them 
both installed from MacPorts. I also need ReportLab, but it has a dependency on 
PIL so I can't just replace PIL with Pillow.

Also I am unable to install Pillow from PyPI using pip because it gives an error:
error: invalid command 'egg_info'
and I assume that may not work anyway, even it did install.

Is there a way around this?

I am using Macports 2.3.1 with everything up to date as of today, on OS X 10.8.5.
