[Zope] Two Pythons and PIL module newbie question..

[Chris Beaumont]

Jim,

I am sure you are right, but I am not of a mind to reinstall my whole
system right now for the sake of making thumbnails..

:(

Maybe in two months, when I have a little break in my (very busy) work schedule..

So, is there any way I can install PIL into the working Zope (binary)
install, or use symbolic links to make Zope see the deb-installed PIL?
(my working zope install was installed from the Linux binary, non-deb,
that was available from zope.org)

Thank you,

Chris
