use of import of PIL incorrectly documented, or is it just me ?

Well what I have is:

C:\Python20\Lib\site-packages\PIL.pth
C:\Python20\Lib\site-packages\PIL\
C:\Python20\DLLs\_imaging.pyd
C:\Python20\DLLs\_imagingtk.pyd

I would believe that that should correspond to your approach. But I still
have to use:

from PIL import Image

Actually I have to use:

------------------------------------

import sys
sys.path.append('C:/Python20/Lib/site-packages')

from PIL import Image

im = Image.open("c:/temp/img.jpg")
im.show()

------------------------------------

I'm using Activestate 2.0. on windows 2000 Pro. Maybe there is something
wrong with my installation, or Activestates installer? It's all just plain
vanilla.

The below works, so The files must be in the correct Directory:

------------------------------------

import sys
sys.path.append('C:\\Python20\\Lib\\site-packages\\PIL')

import Image

im = Image.open("c:/temp/img.jpg")
im.show()

------------------------------------
