I got this error but it has been resolved in the following link
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21242107/pip-install-pil-dont-install-into-virtualenv
fix:
pip install PIL --allow-external
Well, there is a suggestion to use --allow-external switch, in the console output, you could do that, and if it would fail, you would follow another suggestion, that would surely say something along the lines of "use --allow-unverified to install this package". I'm really surprised that that question doesn't have like -100 votes up on StackOverflow, but I guess it's the world we live in, where dumb questions, solved by just reading the screen are upvoted, and actual questions, that are not as easily solved are downvoted...
By the way, close this issue, if it's solved.
