    picture = Image(file)

    width, height = picture.size()

    pix = picture.getPixels()

I am trying to write a code to display this image but this code does not provide the image. How to change my code in order to display this image?

This answer requires that you install [Pillow](https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/3.1.x/installation.html#basic-installation) (or the original [PIL](https://bitbucket.org/effbot/pil-2009-raclette)) first. Note Pillow's syntax requires `from PIL import Image`. – Erik Koopmans May 06 '18 at 14:49

Don't forget to include

import Image

In order to show it use this :

Image.open('pathToFile').show()
