Something to be aware of ---
I have installed  Photo & PIL on win98 and winNT boxes.
On winNT leaving __int__.py blank does indeed have the desired effect
and everything works as advertised. However, on win98 I have problems.
I left __init__.py blank which allows the product to 'load' without
breaking (I mean it shows up in my products list ok). But when I try to
use it I get an attribute error of "Image" in the resize method of 
Photo.py
There appear to be subtleties between a winNT install and win98
