What would a reliable method be to verify the installation status of PIL?

I thought i had one, but as so many people are having problems, i am not sure. I just don't know how to support all different kind of Operating Systems and Python versions. The install guide on htpc.io tells how to install on several OS, but apparently it's not enough.

The following on the commandline works for me:

Code:

$ python
>>> import Image

Start python, import PIL. If this throws errors, PIL is not (correct) installed. If there is no warning/error output after the import line, PIL was imported successfully.
