Insert here:
print type(Image), type(Image.open), Image.version

Here are my results:
Python 2.4.2 (#67, Sep 28 2005, 12:41:11) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on 
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> from PIL import Image, ImageTk
 >>> Image.VERSION
'1.1.5'
 >>> type(Image)
<type 'module'>
 >>> type(Image.open)
<type 'function'>

... which is what I expected

If the print statement gives incorrect results, I'd advise re-installing 
PIL.
If it gives correct results, add a copy of the print further towards 
where the error occurs. Binary search until you have found the culprit 
that is mangling Image.

I thought I'd already seen somebody point out to you that all those 
str() calls are rather redundant ...

The implication is that Image is a function, which is weird.
