Import Error. No module named Image

[jl2035]

I have found many questions on stackoverflow about this, but I guess I'm not smart enough to help myself with any of the solutions they provide. I have followed this documentation http://django-simple-captcha.readthedocs.org/en/latest/usage.html very precisely, but I must be just unlucky.

After adding this:

urlpatterns += patterns('',
    url(r'^captcha/', include('captcha.urls')),
)

to urls.py I'm getting this: ImportError at / No module named Image

I have no idea what's going on. The stack trace does not tell me much :)

Traceback:

did you pip install Pillow?

[jl2035]

I can't! This is the end of output:

x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc: error: build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/libImaging/BoxBlur.o: No such file or directory

error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

Uhm, if you're on Debian or Ubuntu:

apt-get -y install libz-dev libjpeg-dev libfreetype6-dev python-dev

Does this help? Pillow is a strict requirement, that is why you're getting the Import Image error

[jl2035]

whoa! Thanks for the awesomeness. This trick could be included in the docs btw...

[mbi]

Good point, will add that

"apt-get -y install libz-dev libjpeg-dev libfreetype6-dev python-dev"
What is the equivalent on CentOS?

I have Pillow 2.6.1 installed, but when I try to start Django (over Apache using mod_wsgi), I get the following traceback

The same code worked on Windows and I was able to see the CAPTCHA in my ModelForms.
