cli as the following. 

Python Imaging Library (PIL) is not available and is needed for issue 
identification.

What linux OS and version are you using specifically?

I changed over to using Pillow (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow/2.4.0) 
instead of PIL, and I guess I didn't update that message.  Depending on your 
OS, there may be different solutions to get Pillow installed properly, whether 
it's via apt-get, pip, or another package manager.

I'm getting the same error on Mint 16 (3.11.0-12-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 
9 16:20:46 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux).  I have python-imaging and 
Pillow-2.4.0 installed.

I fixed the issue (at least for my install).  I figured out the issue after I 
commented out the exception portion for the PIL import in "issueidentifier.py", 
so an error would be thrown on failed import.

I didn't have WEBP wasn't supported with Pillow (didn't have the packages 
installed).  There may have been additional packages that weren't supported as 
well, but an exception was thrown by pillow once it tried to import webp.

Anyway, to resolve my issue I did the following:
1. Uninstall pillow
2. run "sudo apt-get install libtiff4-dev libjpeg8-dev zlib1g-dev 
libfreetype6-dev liblcms1-dev libwebp-dev"
3. reinstall pillow (auto upgraded to v2.5

Autotagging should work now.

Awesome, thanks!  I forgot about all of those dependencies.  I will get those 
details in the wiki.

For anyone else coming across this:  you might also need python-dev installed:

{{{
sudo apt-get install python-dev
}}}
