Why doesn't PIL load locally while running Google App Engine Python 2.7 Mac OSX?
Question: I am using Google App engine on Mac OSX 10.7.4. When I load PIL from the
commandline, everything works fine. However, when I load it from the GAE local
environment, i.e.:

> import Image

Gives me the error:

> ImportError: No module named Image

This line works fine:

> from google.appengine.api import images

So I don't believe there's a problem with my installation. The app works fine
when I deploy it to GAE. Also, I load the PIL library in app.yaml:

    
    
    libraries:
    - name: webapp2
      version: "2.5.1"
    - name: lxml
      version: latest
    - name: PIL
      version: latest
    - name: numpy
      version: latest
    

I am also using python in /usr/bin/python, 2.7.1. I have PIL installed using:

    
    
    brew install pip
    pip install pil
    


Answer: You need to use: `from PIL import Image`.
