PIL doesn't support HLS images.

if you only need HLS values for individual pixels, you can use
the colorsys module in Python's standard library:

>>> import Image
>>> im = Image.open("lenna.im")
>>> im.mode
'RGB'
>>> im.getpixel((0, 0))
(226, 161, 119)
>>> import colorsys
>>> colorsys.rgb_to_hls(*[x/255.0 for x in im.getpixel((0, 0))])
(0.065420560747663545, 0.67647058823529416, 0.64848484848484833)

see the library reference for details.
