Running on a Mac, so installed a fresh Ubuntu in VirtualBox. When I run
sudo python setup.py install
I get:
File "/tmp/easy_install-XmUHkL/Pillow-3.3.0/setup.py", line 521, in build_extensions
ValueError: zlib is required unless explicitly disabled using --disable-zlib, aborting

Hum, you might install zlib and libjpeg by hand so that Pillow is happy, but I suggest that you remove the "Pillow" entry in setup.py
You may install this dependency with sudo apt-get install python-pil afterwards but it is required only for the image viewer, so even if you can't install Pillow, carry on, other apps will work.

Both your suggestions worked for me. Thanks!
