I am currently finding it hard to install PIL on precise pangolin. I have followed this tutorial (http://www.sandersnewmedia.com/why/2012/04/16/installing-pil-virtualenv-ubuntu-1204-precise-pangolin/)

When I do:

pip install PIL

I get the error:

Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement PIL
No distributions at all found for PIL

Looked around google but to no avail.

    Have a look at the top answer [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2485295/the-problem-with-installing-pil-using-virtualenv-or-buildout). You might find it easier to install ['pillow'](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow/) which is a more pip-friendly fork of PIL – Timmy O'Mahony Mar 13 '13 at 12:32

Try this:

pip install PIL --allow-external PIL --allow-unverified PIL

You can use Pillow --> pip install Pillow
