Installing Pillow for Python on Windows

I am fairly new to Python and trying to install the Pillow package on Windows 7. I downloaded and ran the MS Windows installer Pillow-2.2.1.win-amd64-py3.3.exe from here. It appeared to install fine. If I run the simple line of code:

from PIL import Image

directly from the Python interpreter, it runs fine. A help() on PIL gives me the package contents.

But when I try to run the same line of code from within a script, I get an ImportError: No module named PIL. What am I missing?

(Note that I've been able to import sys and import MySQLdb from within scripts just fine.)

Resolved: sure, enough, I'm running Python 2.7 when I run scripts. (I think I vaguely recall having to install an older version so I could interface with MySQL.) Thank you all for pointing out that I should check the version being used.

In my case , I was referring to wrong pip folder. Changed virtual environment in pycharm to point to right pip folder to solve this issue

import sys
print ( sys.path )
