title: ImportError: No module named _imagingtk
body: <p>I wanted to start using Tkinter with python and have following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/python
  
  from Tkinter import *
  from PIL import ImageTk, Image
  
  top = Tk()
  dir(top)
  top.title("Erstes Frame")
  
  erstesFrame = Frame(top, height=250, width=250)
  erstesFrame.pack_propagate(0)
  erstesFrame.pack()
  
  img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("mario.gif"))
  
  erstesBild = Label(erstesFrame, image = img)
  
  erstesBild.pack()
  
  top.mainloop()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when I try to execute it, it just gives me this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "ToDoAPP.py", line 14, in &lt;module&gt;
      img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("mario.gif"))
    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/ImageTk.py", line 116, in __init__
      self.paste(image)

      import _imagingtk
  ImportError: No module named _imagingtk
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I installed PIL with python-pip and my OS is ubuntu 12.04 and my python version is 2.7.3</p>
