I'm attempting to install the PIL library in an Virtual Enviroment that I have created.
Usually to install PIL I'd grab the install, however this won't allow me to choose my virtualenv only my root Python folder (C:/Python26).
I tried both pip install PIL and easy_install PIP but they didn't work. I've also tried downloading the TAR, extracting and running setup.py install
Django is still rejecting my model which contains an ImageField(). Does anyone have a solution?
An error which commonly occurs is below:
Unable to find vcvarsall.bat
Edit:
OK I tried a fresh virtualenv and used easy_install which isn't showing the compile error.
I then open a Python shell and it allowed me to import PIL
and import _imaging
, however when I try to use the ImageField()
in django my models still won't validate.
Rename from PIL-1.1.7-py2.6-win32.egg to PIL in site-packages dir.
OK this appears to be a VirtualEnv problem.
Despite making a new VirtualEnv with the --no-site-packages argument, my Django site is fetching the django files from the root install C:/Python26/Lib/site-packages/
rather than locally.
Django then attempts to fetch PIL in the root site-packages
which it cannot find and results in an error.
I have no idea why this is occurring. If I open the python interpreter the root django files do not appear on the path.
Once remedied easy_install PIL
should work.
