Not enough live signal to judge — treat with caution.
✓ freshdeps checked pil live against PyPI, GitHub & OSV on Jun 13, 2026 — but it goes stale again.
Install the MCP so your AI agent checks freshness before it recommends a dependency:
claude mcp add freshdeps -- npx -y github:SolvoHQ/freshdeps-mcp
Repo archived
no repo data
Suggested alternative
Pillow
PIL is dead (last release 2009, Python 2 only); Pillow is the maintained fork.
Migration
pip uninstall PIL && pip install Pillow; `from PIL import Image` keeps working (Pillow ships the PIL namespace)
Embed this freshdeps badge in your README. It reads the same hand-verified migration corpus this page does — so it tells anyone who lands on your repo whether pil is a dead end before they install it.

This migration corpus is hand-verified and free — support keeping it that way.
