Why a fork?

PIL is not setuptools compatible. Please see `this Image-SIG post`_ for a more detailed explanation. Also, PIL's current bi-yearly (or greater) release schedule is too infrequent to accommodate the large number and frequency of issues reported.

Prior to Pillow 2.0.0, very few image code changes were made. Pillow 2.0.0
added Python 3 support and includes many bug fixes from many contributors.
As more time passes since the last PIL release (1.1.7 in 2009), the likelihood of a new PIL release decreases. However, we've yet to hear an official "PIL is dead" announcement.
The last PIL release was in 2009 (1.1.7) and `no future releases are expected <https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/issues/1535>`_. In January 2020, `the PyPI moderators exhausted the PEP 541 process for contacting the PIL project owner <https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/issues/1535#issuecomment-570308446>`_ and the `PIL project on PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/PIL>`_ was transferred to the `Pillow team <https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/graphs/contributors>`_. The Pillow team has no plans to update the PIL project on PyPI.
