Comment 1 for bug 627986

It is still not possible to use any python libraries, that rely directly on c-type dynamic libraries(.dll, .pyd, .so, ...) (e.g. PIL will not run with the image core functions since these are written in C and so will not any other library that relies on PIL like pyTesser).

These C modules have either to be ported to Java or bridged via JNI, which is not the case for PIL yet.
