That worked for me. Thanks a lot.

Is there any way to set these parameters using environment variables? Pillow
is being installed as a dependency for my library so it would be easier if
users could set up something beforehand...

Well, I have a virtualenv anyway so I don't need that.

Thank you very much for your spot-on explanation.
