Not necessarily so, I suppose, but if you intend to use models.ImageFields, then django relies on PiL. Please add as a RDEP kthxbye.

Done.

Comment 2 Max Arnold 2009-04-26 15:11:19 UTC

Can we make PIL dependency optional?  It is better to add USE-flag and leave it on by default.

Probably special postinstall warning can be displayed if this flag is disabled by user.
