Please see #553 (and no idea what "canopy" is)

Enthought canopy is an environment for programming in python. i just installed that software which have built in python 2.7 and its own repository but some of the packages or either not in their repository or not upto date, then i have to use cmd to install those packages. plus this software have a builtin package manager showing installed packages with its version,

Why would you compile then? Just use binaries

Possibly because canopy ships 1.1.7.

[Siddique1]

what is 1.7.7?? if you mean python version, then in canopy i am using python 2.7

[aclark4life]

PIL 1.1.7

@Siddique1 your easiest path is to install Gohlke's binary build of PIL. Just be sure that you've set Canopy to be the default Python on your system, as this sets registry settings required by Gohlke's installer (so it knows where to install to).

Thanks @jdmarch.

@jdmarch There is no difference between @cgohlke's binaries and what you get from PyPI, unless you are referring to PIL 1.1.7. All of our Windows binaries are manufactured by @cgohlke, FWIW.
