I see that PyPy's website says that PIL (Pillow) works.  I have so far
only used Python libraries that were readily available as binaries for
Windows, or were already available in Linux distro repositories.  In
Ubuntu, for example, Pillow is available for CPython but not PyPy.  Is
there a guide to tell me (in non-developer language, hopefully) how to
install Pillow for PyPy on Ubuntu?
