You have to install the PIL module before using the new SDK. Instructions for various platforms are located

One point to note, at least for Windows users, is to resist the temptation to try to install PIL using easy_install. On Windows the command "\Python25\Scripts\easy_install PIL" will download and install a PIL egg, but it does set up the path correctly so "import PIL" will still fail. (For those that haven't realised it yet most Python packages these days can be installed with easy_install, it's a bit annoying that PIL is broken that way.)
