django-imagekit generateimages command fail

Question

I'm using django 1.5 and django-imagekit==3.0.1

My settings.py modifications:

IMAGEKIT_CACHEFILE_DIR = MEDIA_ROOT + '/imges_cache'

model fields:

photo = models.ImageField(_(u"Photo"), upload_to="user_photos/",
                          blank=True, null=True)
thumb = ImageSpecField([ResizeToFill(129, 129)], source='photo')
thumb_small = ImageSpecField([ResizeToFill(49, 48)], source='photo')

problem is when I run command:

python manage.py generateimages

I get this:

Validating generator: cv:personalinfo:thumb_small
 /home/user/app/static_files/media/imges_cache/user_photos/photo1/9b9a3c24f189efc6117357427a9f8b33.jpg
    FAILED: function takes at most 11 arguments (13 given)
Validating generator: cv:personalinfo:thumb
  /home/user/app/static_files/media/imges_cache/user_photos/photo1/fe6c67625b129ceffcd65f197413b7f9.jpg
    FAILED: function takes at most 11 arguments (13 given)
Validating generator: imagekit:thumbnail

So I can't generate cache files.

It sounds to me like you're having the problem described in Issue #193. In summary, you've got a global install of PIL but a local install of Pillow and the two aren't compatible. Check out Issue #173 on the Pillow project for more info.
