Using Pillow 3.4.2 for python 3.5 i am attempting to display the image Lenna using this code:

from PIL import Image
filename = 'C:/Users/Thomas/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Lenna.png'
pic = Image.open(filename)
pic.show()

But I get the following error upon running the code:

builtins.AttributeError: module 'PIL._imaging' has no attribute 'fill'

PIL uses an external viewer to display images. What does `from PIL import ImageShow; ImageShow._viewers` return? (thanks to [unutbu](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28139637/how-can-i-display-an-image-using-pillow#comment44650991_28139637) for that command) – PM 2Ring Nov 24 '16 at 08:52
@PM2Ring It returned `[]` – Tom Charlebois Nov 26 '16 at 04:06
Weird. If I do `import PIL._imaging; dir(PIL._imaging)` in the interpreter `'fill'` is one of the attributes in the returned list. FWIW, I'm using Pillow 3.3.0 with Python 3.6 on Linux. I vaguely remember having problems installing Pillow when I upgraded to 3.6, so it _might_ be worthwhile trying Pillow 3.3.0. – PM 2Ring Nov 26 '16 at 09:34
Is this the *only* error that you get? – Antti Haapala -- Слава Україні Nov 26 '16 at 10:39
Did you install Pillow from a wheel or did you compile it? It might be that the Pillow you've got doesn't really work on your Python... – Antti Haapala -- Слава Україні Nov 26 '16 at 10:41
