Huh, that's interesting.  I was not able to dupe (I tried ``env 
PYTHONPATH=/home/gary/py/lib/python2.6/site-packages 26python bootstrap.py``, 
where 26python is a local Python).  Could you give me a traceback?  (Off-list, 
perhaps.)

Yeah.  That's one we use too, and I intend to upgrade it eventually if no-one 
beats me to it.

As you and I said, it's the old code path, so all bets are off with a system 
Python.  Wanna upgrade djangorecipe for me? :-)  Anyway, in this case, I 
believe that particular spelling of the path has to do with how PIL is often 
installed.
