Python can do pretty much anything except kernel modules.

the first solution in this thread requires python imaging library which
I did find here: http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/faq.htm
But i would like to know if there are easier ways to install this
instead of compiling it from the source.

Did you bother checking your distributions package management?

Depends on your linux distro - but PIL is a fairly stable and widely
used lib, so I fail to imagine any modern distro not having a packaged
PIL install (rpm, ebuild, whatever).

Thanks Allan, I did find PIL in Synaptic Package Manager and installed
it successfully. However, I cannot use it. The reason is:
1. I had installed python3 using sudo apt-get install python3 but python
2 still remains. And it seems Scite (my python editor) is looking for
python 2.

Terminal Output:
$ python -V
Python 2.6.4
$ python3 -V
Python 3.1.1+

Output from Scite:
>python -u "sshot.py"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "sshot.py", line 1, in <module>
import ImageGrab
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PIL/ImageGrab.py", line 34, in
<module>
import _grabscreen
ImportError: No module named _grabscreen
>Exit code: 1

How to make Scite use python3 where it will hopefully find the just
installed PIL.
