Can't install PIL

Question

I'm unable to install PIL. When I run pip install PIL I get:

Downloading/unpacking PIL
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement PIL
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for PIL
Storing debug log for failure in /tmp/tmpWJojCu

I've tried following the answers to this question but I get the same error.

pip install pillow

But the import name was unchanged, so it is different from the package name now. That is, you continue to use:

from PIL import Image
