OK. Apparently this is not PIL problem.
I replaced validation errormessage with custom messages for debugging
and i found out that imagefield validation fails here :
try:
# load() is the only method that can spot a truncated
JPEG,
# but it cannot be called sanely after verify()
trial_image = Image.open(file)
--> trial_image.load()
If i comment that .load() line out i got IOerror:
IOError at /profile/edit/
decoder jpeg not available
So apparently, even though i reinstalled jpeg before installing PIL,
there is something wrong with jpeg module pathing and i have to remove
and reinstall that too.
