Python Imaging Library

I spent 4+ hours yesterday trying to get the PIL (Python Imaging Library) installed on either my Mac or a computer in the lab.  It was so frustrating.  This is the first time I've not been able to easily make something work on my Mac.  There's more to installing the library than just clicking and I don't have quite enough technical knowledge to understand the directions.  I think the problem in the lab has as much to do with permissions on those computers as it does with technical knowledge.  I'll try to find help on Monday.  The PIL is necessary for our project because we can't put a picture of the auction items up without it.

I had a quiet dinner at Provino's with my Kindle last night...eggplant vegetale, a glass of cabernet, and The Fourth Paradigm--essays about the profusion of scientific data available today.
