So it seems to be safe to use either Christoph' binary PIL distribution

The fact, that pillow is accessable via PyPi / easy_install / PIP pushes
me slightly towards pillow.
I assume it's best to uninstall PIL before installing pillow.
I would expect you'd be fine. Being a different package, it's a
different namespace, so they shouldn't conflict.
This is what is confusing me.
if I start with a new python and I just install Pillow, then pillow is
imported via
import PIL
so it does not seem to have a separate name space
If I had PIL and pillow installed, then I wouldn't even know how to
choose which one to import.
On a Linux machine:
What would happen in a virtualenv with sitepackages (amonst them PIL
installed and a pillow installed ontop of it?
I don't think I can uninstall PIL, as many distro packages depend on it.
I don't want to create a virtualenv without site packages, as I have
many dependencies and some of them are a little tricky to compile.
Again, you should be fine, as it's in a separate namespace. You
definitely don't want to mess with PIL if you have other dependencies.
Well I'm slightly confused, but will play a little to see what exactly works
