How to use the Python Imaging Library

I tried to install PIL the other day via `pip` I believe, and a warning appeared basically saying PIL is not being maintained (is dead), use an alternative.

PIL has never worked with pip, but you can still install it using the instructions on their web site.

pillow works fine with pip.

I'm curious what problems you faced with PIL on Pip. I never tried installing it before today at work on Travis using Pip. Despite of all system libraries (jpeg-dev, zlib-dev) installed it would complain about libraries not being present and compiled without png/jpeg... support.

If you're on Ubuntu, running "apt-get build-dep python-imaging" should fix those problems (or it did for me in the past).
