PIL(Pillow) fails with PNG image

[tastyminerals]

Hi, I am getting an error when trying to use Pillow library to display
image PNG on a Tkinter Button widget. Here is my code.

|image= Image.open(os.path.join('icons','bulb.png')) # using PIL for png images
self.correctGuessImage= ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)

|>>>
|File "/home/user/Documents/temp.py", line222, in drawButtons
self.correctGuessImage= ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/ImageTk.py", line121, in __init__
self.paste(image)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/ImageTk.py", line171, in paste
im.load()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/ImageFile.py", line192, in load
d= Image._getdecoder(self.mode, d, a, self.decoderconfig)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute'_getdecoder'|||

While working fine under windows 7x64 it fails to work on Linux Mint
x64. I am getting this error running the same file. I installed
everything I could find with 'python','png' and 'tk' from the reps but
no effect. Any ideas why is this happening and how to fix this?

Do you have your own module named Image.py?
