[Answer]-Decoder zip not available – PIL and sorl-thumbnail

Original PIL sucks!

I tried to install all required dependencies, linking all the files, which cost me one whole morning, still not working even though.

Solution:
Use Pillow

  sudo pip install PIL

Then you can:

  $ python
  Python 2.7.4 (default, Apr 19 2013, 18:28:01) 
  [GCC 4.7.3] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> from PIL import Image
  >>>
