Presumably this is a newbie question; apologies in advance, but I have spent hours trying to RTFM, to no avail. Can anyone help?

I've installed pylibtiff-0.1-svn.win32.exe since I want to be able to read a TIFF file. But when I type (in IDLE) I get

from  libtiffimport  TIFFfile,  TIFFimage
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in<module>
      from libtiff import TIFFfile, TIFFimage
  File "E:\Python27\lib\site-packages\libtiff\__init__.py", line 4, in<module>
     from .libtiff import libtiff, TIFF
  File "E:\Python27\lib\site-packages\libtiff\libtiff.py", line 35, in<module>
    raise ImportError('Failed to find TIFF library. Make sure that libtiff is 
installed and its location is listed in PATH|LD_LIBRARY_PATH|..')
ImportError: Failed to find TIFF library. Make sure that libtiff is installed 
and its location is listed in PATH|LD_LIBRARY_PATH|..
 import sys
 print sys.path
['E:\\Python27\\Lib\\idlelib', 'E:\\Windows\\system32\\python27.zip', 
'E:\\Python27\\DLLs', 'E:\\Python27\\lib', 'E:\\Python27\\lib\\plat-win', 
'E:\\Python27\\lib\\lib-tk', 'E:\\Python27', 'E:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages']

Libtiff is in the 'E:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages' directory as it's supposed to. So is, e.g., Numpy, which imports just fine.

What am I doing wrong? FWIW, I tried the PIL package, and had the same problem (module not found). Why do these modules not import when Numpy, matplotlib, scipy, etc. import as expected?

Running Win7, 32bit, Python 2.7.1.
