PIL (Pillow) is still bundled with the legacy version of Sigil 0.9.12. In fact the Kindlegen plugin works just fine for me when the legacy version of Sigil is installed on Windows 7 or Windows 10. I'm not near an XP machine (physical or virtual) to test why it might not be working there, but I suspect it has something to do with the update to the latest version of Pillow. Considering that the highest version of Python I can use on XP (3.4) is deprecated, and that Pillow is dropping support for Python 3.4 very soon (the next version of pip will drop python 3.4 support), my options to make it work might be limited.
