Patch to use the form of import of PIL that is pillow compatible

Description of problem:

Fedora 19 is going to stop shipping python-imaging (PIL) and start shipping python-pillow instead.  Rationale can be found on the feature page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Pillow .  pillow should be compatible with PIL at the code level but the import statement changes slightly.

PIL supports both of these:

import Image

from PIL import Image

Pillow only supports the latter form.

I grepped through the polybori source and found some occurrences of "import Image".  I'll attach a patch that updates these to the new form of import.

Thanks for the patch.  Will a BR of python-imaging-devel and an R of python-imaging still be correct, or will they need to be changed too?
Comment 2 Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2013-01-17 06:23:38 UTC 
The plan is to have python-pillow Provide python-imaging{-devel,-tk,etc} since the API is the same except for dropping the old method of importing.

You can update the package to use python-pillow and python-pillow-devel once those packages have replaced python-imaging in the repository if you like but it shouldn't be necessary for at least the next few releases.

I just rebuilt polybori in Rawhide with this patch, and forwarded the patch upstream.  Thanks, Toshio.
