how to install PIL package with JPEG support in windows


I want to install PIL package on windows, its easy. but decoder jpeg not available. which packages are needed to download and installed befor PIL so it gets work?


Solution

  • I found the solution.

    one has to use easy_install PIL instead of pip install PIP in Windows.
    easy_install finds local installation or installs the libjpeg from the source and connects it to PIL while pip cannot do that.
