Getting Image Upload to work on Django

Learned form r1cky that jpeg and PIL are packages that need to be recompiled for other people, especially those on different operating systems

haoqili: how can I tell if a package needs to be recompiled on the VM or not?
r1cky: hmm, that is a good question. if it is only .py source files then it doesnt need compiling
r1cky: but some libraries have C in them
r1cky: the ones that we use that need compiling are
r1cky: MySQL-python, Jinja2, PIL, lxml
r1cky: and the jpeg one
r1cky: those are installed separately (not copied into the repository)

1. Install PIL into my vendor-local

playdoh (master)$  pip install -I --install-option="--home=`pwd`/vendor-local" pil
