The page says 10.3.9 or later. The filenames say 10.4 because that's
what they were built with. You can't build universal binaries with
10.3.

Which one did you install?

This leads me to believe that you're not loading the installed PIL
when running this selftest.py. The PIL on that page definitely works
fine, and it's got nothing to do with 10.3.9. You should try actually
using it.
