Python PIL NameError global name Image is not defined

Question:

I installed PIL 1.1.7 using the executable for Python 2.7. But when I run this code :

import requests
from PIL import *

def main() :
    target = "http://target/image.php" #returns binary data for a PNG.
    cookies = {"mycookie1", "mycookie2"}
    r = requests.get(target, cookies=cookies)
    im = Image.open(r.content) #r.content contains binary data for the PNG.
    print im

if __name__ == "__main__" :
    main()

It gives the error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:ProgrammingPythoncodeeg_cc1.py", line 17, in <module>
  main()
File "D:ProgrammingPythoncodeeg_cc1.py", line 13, in main
  im = Image.open(r.content)
NameError: global name 'Image' is not defined

I installed PIL in Libsite-packages.

Answers:

You need to explicitly import the Image module:

>>> from PIL import *
>>> Image
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'Image' is not defined
>>> import PIL.Image
>>> Image
<module 'Image' from 'c:Python27libsite-packagesPILImage.pyc'>
>>>

Or just

>>> import Image

Use 

from PIL import Image

This way it will work, and your code will be forward-compatible with Pillow. On the other hand, import Image will not work with Pillow.

The development of PIL has been stopped in mid 2011, without any official announcement or explication. Pillow is a fork of original PIL and is actively developed.

If 

import Image

is not working.
Try:

from PIL import Image

There is compatibility issue with all the packages in PIL. Try downloading PIL package manually for the latest version.
Actually worked with this in Python 3.2 Version, everything is working fine.
