It's likely you've still got a path issue.  When you import from the 
command line the contents of your current directory is importable.  I'd 
suspect you were in the PIL directory when you tested from the command line.

To verify a path problem, add
sys.path.append('/usr/lib/Python2.4/site-packages//usr/lib/Python2.4/site-packages')
prior to the import in your application.  If that works, double check 
your path setup.

HTH,
