title: Django PIL - how to install to system site-packages?
body: <p>I want to use the ImageField in Django and I was told to install Pillow rather than PIL. I installed Pillow by doing this</p>
  
  <pre><code>pip install Pillow
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and then when I ran the server, it said </p>
  
  <pre><code>To use ImageFields, you need to install PIL
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I was told it should work with just having Pillow. I did further research and I read that I should try</p>
  
  <pre><code>pip install Pillow-PIL
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I tried that and it still have the same error. I tried import it in models.py like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from PIL import Image
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but then it gave an error saying 'No module named PIL'. What am I doing wrong? On another SO post, a user said</p>
  
  <pre><code>Did you install Pillow into your system site-packages? or into a virtualenv's site-packages?
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I confirm that Pillow is installed into my system site-packages?</p>
  
  <p>Note: I am using Django 1.5, Python 2.7 and not using virtualenv.</p>
