I tried to install pillow on python 3.7 using command pip3 install pillow. The package downloaded fine but during installation I got below error. I tried to download using wheel too but it failed too. Any advice? Thanks.

Command "c:\...\python37\python.exe -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='C:\\...\\A~1.M\\AppData\
\Local\\Temp\\pip-build-phpvx_2j\\pillow\\setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open',
open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code,
 __file__, 'exec'))" install --record C:\...\pip-lde0t8n9-record\install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\...\pip-build-phpvx_2j\pillow\

Hmm, I installed Pillow on Python 3.7 all right. This is what I did:

Install Python 3.7 64 bit

In the command prompt in Windows, I ran:

python -m pip install Pillow

That should work.

I'm using Python 3.7 in windows and I tried 

python -m pip install Pillow

It didn't work, then I tried

pip install pillow

which didn't work either. so what I did is I tried 

pip install Pillow==6.2.1

it worked, then I keep installing till the latest version that's

pip install Pillow==7.1.1

And now I have the latest version which is working fine.

  • Yep, the package name is "Pillow" (capital P; which is non-standard, really), so if you do "pip install Pillow" you should get the latest version, whichever it is. – Nico Villanueva Apr 17 '20 at 11:37

There seems to be no support for Pillow for Python 3.7. I installed python 3.6 and then installed pillow successfully.

pip3 install pillow

This also means that ReportLab can neighter be installed in Python 3.7 since there is a direct dependency to pillow in there. I use reportlab to generate pdf files. I sincerely hope this will be resolved soon.

I think I will be able to answer this.
My system info are follows:

  • Windows 10
  • Django version 3.2
  • Python version 3.7

I found on the Pillow documentation that the tested for Pillow version is 7.1.0
You can read here.
for this, you need to launch cmd or anaconda prompt and type

pip uninstall Pillow
pip install Pillow==7.1.0
