Hello there,

Windows binaries for PIL provided at pythonware.com do not work on ActivePython 2.5.4.4. There was a bug reported here:

  http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=83694

This is because the PIL binaries are directly linked against tk84.dll, while the ActivePython installation comes with tk-8.5.

Jeff Hobbs pointed out that using tcl stubs is the correct thing to do in order to ensure compatibility with different versions of Tcl/Tk libraries installed. Since this is not an issue with python.org's Python (whose 2.5 version comes with Tcl/Tk 8.4), I do not consider this a severe issue, however, having this fixed will at least make PIL work against some of the custom Python installations (of which ActivePython is just one of them).
