Thanks for all your answers.

So it seems to be safe to use either Christoph' binary PIL distribution 
or to use Pillow.

The fact, that pillow is accessable via PyPi / easy_install / PIP pushes 
me slightly towards pillow.


I assume it's best to uninstall PIL before installing pillow.


How much would I confuse easy_install / pip in a normal windows
non virutal environment if I didn't uninstall PIP before (or even worse 
if I installed PIL, then pillow and uninstalled then PIL)

(Just anticipating all the smart thigns, that my collegues (or myself) 
might do


On a Linux machine:
What would happen in a virtualenv with sitepackages (amonst them PIL 
installed and a pillow installed ontop of it?
I don't think I can uninstall PIL, as many distro packages depend on it.
I don't want to create a virtualenv without site packages, as I have 
many dependencies and some of them are a little tricky to compile.
