how work with jpeg in python2.7 win64 without PIL?

Question

I cant run jpeg support in PIL and think about another modules for python...

i have: Win7 x64 + Python 2.7 x64 and PIL says:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\arduino\pde\freezelight_printer\freezelight_printer_computer.py", line 43, in <module>
    print im.getpixel((x,y))
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 949, in getpixel
    self.load()
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\PIL\ImageFile.py", line 189, in load
    d = Image._getdecoder(self.mode, d, a, self.decoderconfig)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 385, in _getdecoder
    raise IOError("decoder %s not available" % decoder_name)
IOError: decoder jpeg not available

is there an alternative PIL in python? I whant read pixel data from jpeg. Nothing else... But all what i find is PIL and imageMagic. First not worked. Second - its not python module and need install to system some programs...

is there something simple for read pixel data from jpeg without compilation, installing visual studio and other programs?

Try the pillow fork of PIL.

You'll find binary installers on PyPi, so you don't need to compile anything yourself.
