However, easy_install installs PIL version 1.1.7 which does not work with the latest stable Reviewboard version 1.0.5.1.

Using easy_install PIL==1.1.6 doesn’t work because of build error. The workaround is to manually download PIL and install it.

To make reviewboard work under virtualenv, additional steps are needed, which in fact are steps for Django application to work under virtualenv.

  • If you use mod_python and apache, this article maybe useful. This works for Reviewboard.
  • For mod_wsgi, look here.
