If you see a syntax error, that means your code could not be compiled.
Python's parser doesn't grok "import image from pil". In natural
language we have the freedom to swap the order of clauses, but
programming languages are generally more rigid. The correct order is
"from pil import image" -- but actually it has to be "from PIL import
Image".
