Thanks for the reply. This is very useful info. But I have another
issue I didn't mention. The system python is 2.6,
but I need the 2.7 version. So anything I install with pip will get
installed to 2.6. To get around that on my connected hosts I've done:

easy_install-2.7 pip

and then I install with pip2.7.

But this unconnected host doesn't have easy_install-2.7, so I'd have
to figure out how to get that first.

I think it will work if I just copy
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/PIL. That worked on a test system I
tried it on. I'll try on the real system tonight.
