django-imagekit

It is very hard to define what's wrong with imagekit when no errors instead of no module importers. And after a few minutes founded out that I have not installed PIL package.

My suggestion is

1. to raise exception when installing django-imagekit;
2. to add PIL to dependencies;
3. to put a warning if no PIL installed.

Hm. PIL is kind of a special case: we can't just add it to the dependencies because technically it isn't a requirement (you can also use Pillow).

I think we can improve that error though; I'll take a look sometime next week.

Were you seeing "no module importers" in the shell?

These days PIL is not something that can be considered and we can depend on Pillow explicitly I think. Probably we can add it.
