Error by sudo pip install pil on Mac 10.9.1

Question

I am trying to install PIL on Mac 10.9.1 I get an error message which I can not get to find here. I have already installed Python27, pip, DJango, now I try to install:

sudo pip install pil

The message I receive:

Downloading/unpacking PIL
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement PIL
  Some externally hosted files were ignored (use --allow-external PIL to allow).
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for PIL
Storing debug log for failure in /Users/xxx/Library/Logs/pip.log

Anyone have an idea how to resolve this error, please?

On Xcode I have checked if Command Line Tools is installed but it doesn't appear under Xcode->preferences->Download.

Many thanks for your help

There's a fork of PIL called Pillow that most probably will solve your issue.
