Solution 1:

@stwhite I suggest you to use virtualenv (http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/index.html) for multiple projects to live in their own environments.

Usefull wrapper for virtualenv http://www.doughellmann.com/projects/virtualenvwrapper/

My own projects live in their own virtualenvs and its really awesome.

Here is the question about creating virtualenv with specific python version Use different Python version with virtualenv

Note May be you'll have problems when installing PIL into the virtualenv

Solution

First install XCode with gcc support,
deactivate <virtualenv_name>
cd ../ (virtualenvs root)
pip install -E <virtualenv_name/> PIL

Hope this will work for you too,

Thanks,

Solution 2:

PHP is running the wrong version of Python. Specify the full path to the python executable.

Solution 3:

Make sure your PYTHONPATH is correct when running via exec() call.

Import sys
print sys.path
sys.path.append ("<path of Image>")

You can also load the module dynamically, at runtime to ensure its available, provided its available in the standard location.
