ImportError: No module named pillow

I'm trying to work with pillow on a Mac OS X Pro, where I did the following:

from pillow import Image

However, I got the this error:

ImportError: No module named pillow

When I try to install pillow as follow:

sudo pip install pillow

I get the following:

Requirement already satisfied: pillow in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages
Requirement already satisfied: olefile in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages (from pillow)

I'm not sure what to do at this point. I have pillow installed, but not able to import it.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

The package name is called pillow but Python Image Library is used as follows:

from PIL import Image
#Read image
im = Image.open( 'image.jpg' )
#Display image
im.show()

PIL was the old package, which was discontinued, but Pillow is still developed, that's why the name is different when installing but import's are still like the old PIL
