Since PIL does not use a proper package, it is particularly sensitive 
to the other files on your sys.path.  It's likely that you have created 
or installed some other ImageFile.py that BmpImagePlugin is using 
instead of the intended one from PIL.

Try this:

 >>> import ImageFile
 >>> print ImageFile.__file__

This will let you know which ImageFile is being imported.  If it is not 
in the PIL directory, then that explains it.
