ImportError: The _imaging C module is not installed? PIL Python3
Question: 
    root@syscomp1:~# cd Pillow-master
    root@syscomp1:~/Pillow-master# python3 selftest.py
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "selftest.py", line 8, in <module>
        from PIL import Image
      File "./PIL/Image.py", line 155, in <module>
        if hasattr(core, 'DEFAULT_STRATEGY'):
      File "./PIL/Image.py", line 39, in __getattr__
        raise ImportError("The _imaging C module is not installed")
    ImportError: The _imaging C module is not installed

## this is the step before i install PIL

    
    
    sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev build-essential 
    sudo pip install --upgrade pip 
    sudo pip install --upgrade virtualenv 
    sudo aptitude install python3-setuptools
    sudo easy_install3 pip
    sudo apt-get install python3-dev
    download the Pillow-master.zip
    wget https://github.com/python-imaging/Pillow/archive/master.zip
    go to downloaded directory and,
    sudo unzip master.zip
    sudo apt-get install libjpeg62-dev //must install this
    sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
    sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev
    sudo apt-get install liblcms1-dev
    python3 setup.py build_ext -i
    

but error with `The _imaging C module is not installed` why?


Answer: Looks like a Python 2 print statement in setup.py:

    
    
      Downloading from URL http://effbot.org/media/downloads/PIL-1.1.7.tar.gz (from http://effbot.org/downloads/)
      Running setup.py egg_info for package pil
