Failed to import a module

Question

I try to use ImageGrab (open-cv function)

OS: lubuntu

First, I did: sudo apt-get install python-opencv. Installation went successfuly. Then I tried to do: from PIL import ImageGrab. But at this point I got the following ImportError:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/user/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/ImageGrab.py", line 26, in <module> import _grabscreen
ImportError: No module named _grabscreen

Where am I wrong?

Looks like a dependency is missing. Does open-cv support py2.7? [See this question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44439443/can-i-pip-install-opencv2-for-python) — Maximilian Burszley, Nov 26 '18 at 20:11
You need to install Pillow before you can import from it. Something like `pip install pillow` — Mark Setchell, Nov 26 '18 at 20:23

Unfortunately - ImageGrab only works with Windows

Alternative: pyscreenshot
