Is Image a module specific to a particular version of Python?  When I
suggest to my interpretor (1.5.2) that it should import Image it tells
me there is no such module.  I'm particularly interested because I
discover abit of code I think would be valuable to me but it doesn't
work for the same reason...the second line is: import Image
