I think the warning can be ignored.

I don't think they're related at all.

Well, you didn't mail the mailing list... so you might want to re-post 
the issue there. I don't think it's related to Tk in any way, though.

I *DID find something that is related by doing a google search on 
"AttributeError: 'ImageFile' module has no attribute 'ImageFile'"

http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2003-April/134726.html

So... instead of doing:

import Image

try doing:

from PIL import Image


I don't know why that would work while the first would not... but... it 
seems to have worked for someone else. It's possible that the python 
built into Zope is doing something funky with modules.

You might also want to try a piece of stand-alone code, without Zope, 
and see if that works.
