<span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse;white-space:pre">I am using Mac OS X 10.5.8 and I previously upgraded from the manufacturer-installed Python 2.5.1 to Python 2.6.4. I recently tried using MacPorts to install the python module py-pil (Python Imaging Library, <a href="http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/index.htm" target="_blank">http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/index.htm</a>) and it seemed to install successfully. However, when I tried to execute "import Image" from the Python interpreter (according to the tutorial <a href="http://www.pythonware.com/library/pil/handbook/introduction.htm" target="_blank">http://www.pythonware.com/library/pil/handbook/introduction.htm</a>), 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:</span></div>

How can I resolve this? Should I uninstall MacPorts (although I was warned by the MacPorts Guide against doing, thus this email) and try to re-install it? Or is there an easier way that I can re-configure MacPorts? I'm relatively new to all this and I haven't yet found a clear solution in my online searches.</span></div>
