user$ sudo pip install -U Pillow
...
Requirement already up-to-date: Pillow in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages

>>> import Pillow
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named Pillow

I've installed Pillow six ways from Sunday, using all sorts of forms of pip and sudo, even changing directory access permissions several times (chown), but can't get it to properly import. How can I get this to work?

Edit: I've even got this error before (that's why I tried chown)

OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/PIL'

There is no need to use `chown`. You are just importing the wrong name. – Martijn Pieters Jan 09 '16 at 20:12
But, I've used `sudo -m pip install Pillow` every time. – blacksite Jan 09 '16 at 20:16
Yes, so? You still need to use `import PIL`, not `import Pillow`. – Martijn Pieters Jan 09 '16 at 20:17
Oh, alright. Thanks for your help. – blacksite Jan 09 '16 at 20:17
