Dear Sikhumbuzo,

I suspect the problem has nothing to do with PIL, the Python Image  
Library. Have you installed the "liveswires" package you mention?  
Presumably to book comes with a CD containing the software. Otherwise we  
need to know the precise error you are getting.

By the way Python 2.3 is very old and not supported you should consider  
updating to Python 2.7 if possible.
