[Distutils] Buildout and PIL problem

[Restless Being]

Hi!

  I have a virtualenv created with --no-site-packages option and I'm going
to install there Django and some required libs using buildout. The
problematic library is PIL. Here is my buildout.cfg

[buildout]
parts = PIL django

[django]
recipe = djangorecipe
version = 1.1
project = project
eggs =
psycopg2
PIL
south
django-reversion
django-cms
wsgi = true
settings = production

[PIL]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg:custom
egg = PIL==1.1.6
find-links = http://dist.repoze.org

and it is something generally recommended by other users. See:
http://www.stereoplex.com/two-voices/a-django-development-environment-with-zc-buildout

I also tried some other versions of [PIL] like:
[PIL]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg:custom
egg = PIL==1.1.6
find-links = http://dist.repoze.org/PIL-1.1.6.tar.gz
index = http://dist.repoze.org/index


The first problem is that the above recipe installs PIL 1.1.7 instead of
1.1.6. Here is install log:

python bin/buildout -c devel.cfg
Updating django.
Getting distribution for 'PIL'.

zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents...
Image: module references __file__
Got PIL 1.1.7.

Second problem is that the above PIL installation doesn't work with Django:

bin/django validate
Error: One or more models did not validate:
picture.picture: "image": To use ImageFields, you need to install the Python
Imaging Library. Get it at http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ .


At the same time, everything is ok when I manually install PIL using: pip
install http://effbot.org/downloads/Imaging-1.1.6.tar.gz

Any hints?
