Things you probably want to install to get the most out of Django

libjpeg (for PIL)

curl -O http://www.ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
tar zxvf jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
cd jpeg-6b/
./configure
make
sudo make install-lib

Python Image Library (PIL)

curl -O http://effbot.org/media/downloads/Imaging-1.1.6.tar.gz
tar zxvf Imaging-1.1.6.tar.gz 
cd Imaging-1.1.6
sudo python setup.py install

Python Markdown library

curl -O http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/M/Markdown/markdown-1.7.tar.gz
tar zxvf markdown-1.7.tar.gz
cd markdown-1.7
sudo python setup.py install

Docutils

This makes Django’s built-in admin documentation work.

curl -O http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docutils-snapshot.tgz
tar zxvf docutils-snapshot.tgz
cd docutils
sudo python setup.py install

Okay, I like your blog, so humour me by explaining how you use libjpeg and Python Image Library, please? I already get Docutils and Markdown (although I prefer Textile :-)

Glad you like the blog!

If you want to do anything with images like this, for example, you need to have PIL (and therefor libjpeg) installed.

Why, thank you sir. Understood. Now I just have to decide whether to go down that route (kind of) or not for the small sites I have.
