python 3.4 and Django 1.8.3 PIL import issue

Question

I have a Django blog-type app with articles. I'd like to attach images to these articles. When I try to do that, I get the following error and traceback:

Exception Type: ImportError at /admin/paper/article/1/
Exception Value: No module named 'PIL'

I am running a virtualenv, here's the result of a pip freeze

Django==1.8.3
django-mobile==0.5.0
image==1.4.0
pbr==1.1.1
Pillow==2.9.0
Pillow-PIL==0.1.dev0
psycopg2==2.6.1
six==1.9.0
sorl-thumbnail==12.3
stevedore==1.5.0
uWSGI==2.0.11
versiontools==1.9.1
virtualenv==13.0.3
virtualenv-clone==0.2.5
virtualenvwrapper==4.6.0
wheel==0.24.0

I could provide a million other details. I don't have PIL installed and I can't install it because the virtualenv I'm using is running python3.4, which won't even install PIL correctly because it's so old. When I try to install PIL (using the --allow-unverified option I learned from searching on here) I get an error involving the print command.

I'm really confused. I thought Django had dropped PIL entirely? But it's showing up in a Django file as a required module? Do I need to use another version of python to install it or am I missing something extremely obvious?
