Heh, I just ran into this same problem a few days ago.  For some reason
PIL doesn't install a __init__.py (or at least the RPM of it didn't). 
Check /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/PIL for a __init__.py.  If it
isn't there, then make one with this content:

import Image, ImageFile, ImageEnhance, ImageDraw, _imaging,
GifImagePlugin, JpegImagePlugin, PngImagePlugin, BmpImagePlugin
