Ah, I missed that. Of course, djangorecipe thought it'd be a good idea
to update PIL.

No idea; psycopg2 used to work for my buildout-based projects, but I
haven't tried it with djangorecipe before, but I've just tried it now:
it is working for me. How does your buildout.cfg look like? Do you
depend on psycopg2 in your setup.py (or is it in an extra)?
