Installing PIL with JPEG support on Mac OS X
Worth noting and good information to have whenever working with Python and PIL: If you use virtualenv (and I think it's a very good idea), PIL may not correctly detect the image libraries on your system and install without JPEG/PNG support.  Use the pillow package for a compatible PIL fork that finds them correctly.
I posted a question before regarding this subject, and read other ones posted before, but none has successfully solved my problem.
I am trying to install PIL on Mac OS X Lion, as I need it for a Django application. I also need JPEG support, so I need a JPEG decoder as well.
I have tried to download the libjpeg sources and compile them, and install PIL, but it doesn't recognize the directory.
So what I would like, and I believe this exists somewhere, is a method to install both PIL and libjpeg with a package installer, without the need for any compilation whatsoever!
Thank you in advance for every reply.
