Errors when trying to install PIL with pip as well as pyscripter errors

Question

I have installed pip and got a correctly functioning virtual environment (I think). I am trying to now install PIL. When I try and install it, this is the error:

C:\Users\CharlesP>python -m pip install python-imaging
Downloading/unpacking python-imaging
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement python-imaging
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for python-imaging
Storing debug log for failure in C:\Users\CharlesP\pip\pip.log

I have no idea why this is happening. I have also installed pillow, and it says it was installed properly, but I get an error when trying to use the pillow module in PyScripter for the latest version it says that there is no such module.

Answer 1

This might help:

pip install PIL --allow-external PIL --allow-unverified PIL

However, you may consider using Pillow instead, this shouldn't create these kind of problems:
