I just figured it out.

I don't know if this is the "proper" solution so i post it to the NG as
well and maybe somebody can point out if there is a better way to do it.

You download the package and unpack it into your python installation
directory.
Now you should have a path like this: d:\Program Files\Python\PIL

In the PIL directory you must copy the following file and name it
__init__.py This seems to be a default name when you want to import a
file, you have to have it in your directory.

import Image
from JpegImagePlugin import *

As you see the last line contains the JpegImagePlugin import statement.
You have a number of similar *.py files in the PIL directory. You must
import every file format you want to use, because from a look at the
python code I noticed that there is a register function which loads the
appropriate gfx file driver. If you always use all file formats you
should place the imrpot statements in the __init_.py file, otherwise you
must import them manually where you need them after "import Image".

Hope this helps.

>>> from PIL import Image
>>> im = Image.open("e:\\gfx\\Desolation.jpg")
>>> print im.format, im.size, im.mode
JPEG (384, 480) RGB
>>>
