It's ugly but the problem is rather that I'd like to use buildout to avoid
such things (it's my first buildout config). But thanks.

Because 1.1.6 from repoze has correct structure. It has PIL in its egg.

This config installs both PILs 1.1.6 and 1.1.7:

[buildout]
parts = PIL django omlette cms-media

[PIL]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
eggs = PIL==1.1.6
find-links = http://dist.repoze.org

[django]
recipe = djangorecipe
version = 1.1
project = project
eggs =
PIL
psycopg2
south
django-reversion
django-cms
wsgi = true
settings = production

[omlette]
recipe = collective.recipe.omelette
eggs = ${django:eggs}

[cms-media]
recipe = svetlyak40wt.recipe.symlinks
path = project/media
files =
${buildout:parts-directory}/omlette/cms/media/cms cms


but this work as expected:

[buildout]
parts = PIL django omlette cms-media

[PIL]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
eggs = PIL==1.1.6
find-links = http://dist.repoze.org

[django]
recipe = djangorecipe
version = 1.1
project = project
eggs =
PIL == 1.1.6
psycopg2
south
django-reversion
django-cms
wsgi = true
settings = production

[omlette]
recipe = collective.recipe.omelette
eggs = ${django:eggs}

[cms-media]
recipe = svetlyak40wt.recipe.symlinks
path = project/media
files =
${buildout:parts-directory}/omlette/cms/media/cms cms

So it's solved. Buildout was installing two different versions of PIL, one
for PIL part (1.1.6) and another one for django part (1.1.7). After I added
specific version to PIL in django it works :D

One more question. Why after I added eggs = psycopg2 just after [buildout]
buildout reported that it is omitting unused eggs in [buildout]? I had to
move psycopg2 to eggs in djangopart.
