Pillow installed but still say "No module named 'Pillow'"

[ahmedelbendary]

Actually i installed Pillow-5.1.0

so, when i import the module it should work

it gives me "No module named 'Pillow'"

Pillow-5.1.0 and Python 3.5

from tkinter import *
import tkinter as tk
import time
from Pillow import ImageTk, Image

root = tk.Tk()

You need to do:

from PIL import ImageTk, Image

See https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/5.1.x/handbook/tutorial.html for examples.

Edit: fix typo.

i have installed the latest pillow and i still get this error

@1997showroom if you are receiving the error "No module named 'Pillow'", that's because you should not be importing 'Pillow' - you should be importing 'PIL'.

So I have PIL and I am using python 3.7 I see a PIL folder in my 2.7 directory but not in 3.7
I downloaded homebrew also, I'm not sure if this made things worse or better.

Is pycharm just not finding Pillow, this is what I get from my terminal when I try to install pillow
Requirement already satisfied: pillow in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages (6.1.0)

I would guess that it's not finding it, yes. pip is telling that Pillow is already installed. If you would like to talk more about this, please create a new issue. Alternatively, since your situation doesn't indicate any fault in Pillow itself, you could ask on StackOverflow.

Yes I got it to work by going to preferences and adding it in the interpreter, thank you !! I actually didn't realize stack was for that , im still figuring out this stuff having so much fun though https://www.instagram.com/little___river/

Hey, i am kinda new to all this, i have installed pillow and it's saying "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PIL'",
i run "pip install pillow" and get this: "Requirement already satisfied: pillow in c:\python37\lib\site-packages (7.2.0)",
Maybe i am doing something wrong? please, let me know, thanks.

also, what im doing is: "from PIL import Image" <- maybe that is wrong? im not sure, anyway, thanks in advance!

Hi @rxvan. If it's conceivable that you have more than one version of Python installed, then it is possible that pip and your Pillow import are running on different copies of Python.

If, for example, you are running

pip install Pillow
python3 script.py

then pip might not be attached to python3. To guard against this, you can run

python3 -m pip install --upgrade Pillow

This suggestion can also be seen at https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html#windows-installation

from how they introduced Pillow in their docs, i thought it was an intendent library and depended on PIL. Thanks you guys for clarifying
