I suggest to uninstall PIL (or pillow) and reinstall Pillow‑2.6.1.win‑amd64‑py3.4.exe from Gohlke's site.

From your error message I assume you are using the 32 bit version of Python 3.4

From the python documentation

>>> import sys
>>> is_64bits = sys.maxsize > 2**32
>>> is_64bits
True # check the answer on your computer

It should perhaps be named is_not_32bits, from a purist point of vue.
