Installing packages into PythonWin

[Tom Harris]

HI,

I am having trouble installing a package (specifically the Python Imaging
Library) into PythonWin. Copying the files into the Lib/sites-packages
directory did not install the PIL automatically, I eventully got it to work
by manually adding the PIL location to the Python path. I am sure that the
sites-packages trick worked on the generic (ie non Active State) Python
distribution, and it adds directories to the Python path depending on the
contents of and files with extension .pth that are in the sites-packages
directory. 

What am I doing wrong?
