If you haven't written a single line of code, which existing program are you running? — Nico Haase, Apr 03 '18 at 08:15
Please add such information to the question, not in any comment. — Nico Haase, Apr 03 '18 at 08:29
You probably have both PIL and Pillow installed on the server, but locally only Pillow. — Andrey Shipilov, Apr 03 '18 at 09:25
is PIL installed by default in azure or ... and if that is the problem what shall i do — Robel, Apr 03 '18 at 11:16

Please see my previous case : install odbc driver to azure app service to install pillow package in your azure django app.

In addition , as @Andrey said you could check if PIL and Pillow both installed in your django app via KUDU. Please refer to this case :ImportError: cannot import name _imaging.

Hope it helps you.
