Well, it's a bit harder than that: PIL depends heavily on binary
string processing, which is one of the things that has undergone big
changes in Python 3.  There are a few manual ports out there, and I
just submitted a bunch of changes to trunk that make PIL's Python code
build and install cleanly under 2.3-3.2 (even if the functionality
under 3.X is rather limited at this point...).
