I've written a few extensions for PIL and it required a fair amount of grubbing around inside of C structures; it isn't clear that the structures will be the same in future versions of PIL. We don't want to add something that people will extend messily, which will then make fixing the API more difficult because of backward compatibility. (Disclaimer: I haven't looked at PIL 1.1 yet; maybe /F has documented an API, or maybe he's pretty sure the data structures will remain the same.) OTOH, given that the Distutils is making good progress on building RPMs for an arbitrary Python package, installing PIL may get much easier in future, reducing the need to add it to the core. But then Paul always yells at me for that argument. :) -- A.M.
