Can't install Pillow in Windows

use:

easy_install pillow

pip doesn't work somehow


I have recently installed Pillow under Cygwin's Python3.6 and needed following packages:

  • gcc-core
  • libjpeg-devel
  • zlib-devel
  • python3-devel
  • python3-setuptools (to run easy-install-3.6)

I have also installed pip using:

easy-install-3.6 install pip

Then finally:

pip3 install pillow

succeeded.


The URL at bottom of error message says:

Windows Installation We provide Pillow binaries for Windows compiled for the matrix of supported Pythons in both 32 and 64-bit versions in wheel, egg, and executable installers. These binaries have all of the optional libraries included:

pip install Pillow

I would try that, to avoid dependency problems such as you have run into.

edit: The pillow only support Pillow >= 2.0.0 < 3.5.0 and not 3.6.0

edit: Hopefully this work, I was not able to actually test on Windows.
