The correct download for Python 2.5.x is from http://www.python.org/download/ 
. There is a dmg on pythonmac.org as well, but AFAIK that either isn't  
maintained or is a copy of the python.org image.

That said, OSX 10.5 ships with Python 2.5.1 as /usr/bin/python. I'd  
use that version unless you need the Python.org build (e.g. you're  
running into a bug that's fixed in 2.5.2 or you're embedding python in  
an application that you'll ship to OSX 10.4 users).

Did you download and compile libjpeg as well? If you don't install  
that somewhere PIL will happily build and install, but without JPEG  
support.
