Uninstalled Pil/Pillow but can still import from it? - python-imaging-library

I've run the following commands on the virtual enviroment.
pip uninstall pillow
Skipping pillow as it is not installed.
pip uninstall pil
Skipping pil as it is not installed.
However when I do this in the console:
import PIL print PIL.PILLOW_VERSION
I get this: 5.3.0
import PIL print PIL.VERSION
I get this: 1.1.7
When I try to reinstall PIL in case there was an issue when installing it, I get this:
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pil (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for pil
When I try to uninstall from the python interpreter directly:
Cannot uninstall 'PIL'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.
I'm trying to completely remove PIL and PILLOW on a windows machine.

I would recommend going into the Python interpreter and writing
>>> import PIL
>>> PIL
You should then see a path to the Pillow module, which you can manually remove.

How can i use PIL in python?

I have successfully installed Pillow:
chris#MBPvonChristoph sources % python3 -m pip install --upgrade Pillow
Collecting Pillow
Using cached Pillow-9.0.1-1-cp310-cp310-macosx_11_0_arm64.whl (2.7 MB)
Installing collected packages: Pillow
Successfully installed Pillow-9.0.1
but when i try to use it in pycharm got:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/chris/PycharmProjects/pythonProject2/main.py", line 1, in
from PIL import Image
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PIL'
or using in Blender i got:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PIL'
I am not a python lib installing pro...so obviously i made something wrong. But how do i fix that?
Maybe i have to say i am working on a M1 Macbook
looks like you may need to repoint your pycharm to your installed python interpreter.
go to command line and find out python interpreter path. On windows you can where python in your command line an it will give you where your python and packages are installed.. You could also activate python directly in command line and find paths from there. For example, open command line then;
python
press enter = activates python
within then you can do:
import sys
for x in sys.path: x
In pycharm make sure you point to path discovered from step 1 and select that to be your python interpreter within pycharm --- check out examples here https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/configuring-python-interpreter.html#add-existing-interpreter
Should work. Not sure about all the steps you took, but if you installed python with pycharm on top of your regular installation of python i would recommend :
finding all the paths from step 1
deleting python using system
checking if folders found from paths step still exist
if they do, delete those as well
start over just with one python installation
repoint to that in pycharm
first
pip uninstall PIL
after uninstall
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install --upgrade Pillow
or
brew install Pillow

I've installed pillow and can't import it into the python shell

I've looked over 30 different pages and couldn't find the answer I needed. I'm using a windows 10 and I'm using python 3.9.0. So I installed Pillow 8.1.0 like this:
python3 -m pip install --upgrade Pillow
Then tried to import pillow into the shell using:
import PIL
import Pillow
import pillow
from Pillow import Image
from PIL import Image
from PIL import *
from Pillow import *
but I got the ModuleNotFoundError every time.
Do you have another way to put pillow into the python shell?
Thanks for the answer in advance😄.
If you're still having trouble, try this:
in your python terminal run:
import sys
print(f'"{sys.executable}" -m pip install pillow')
print(f'"{sys.executable}" -m pip install requests')
then, with the printouts you get, run your windows command prompt as an admin (right click -> run as admin) then paste the 2 commands you get back. restart python and you SHOULD be good to go.
With python 3.9 and above using Pillow 8.1.0, use
from pil import Image.

How to execute the right Python to import the installed tensorflow.transform package?

The version of my Python is 2.7.13.
I run the following in Jupyter Notebook.
Firstly, I installed the packages
%%bash
pip uninstall -y google-cloud-dataflow
pip install --upgrade --force tensorflow_transform==0.15.0 apache-beam[gcp]
Then,
%%bash
pip freeze | grep -e 'flow\|beam'
I can see that the package tensorflow-transform is installed.
apache-beam==2.19.0
tensorflow==2.1.0
tensorflow-datasets==1.2.0
tensorflow-estimator==2.1.0
tensorflow-hub==0.6.0
tensorflow-io==0.8.1
tensorflow-metadata==0.15.2
tensorflow-probability==0.8.0
tensorflow-serving-api==2.1.0
tensorflow-transform==0.15.0
However when I tried to import it, there are warning and error.
WARNING:tensorflow:From /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tensorflow_estimator/python/estimator/api/_v1/estimator/__init__.py:12: The name tf.estimator.inputs is deprecated. Please use tf.compat.v1.estimator.inputs instead.
ImportErrorTraceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-3-26a4792d0a76> in <module>()
1 import tensorflow as tf
----> 2 import tensorflow_transform as tft
3 import shutil
4 print(tf.__version__)
ImportError: No module named tensorflow_transform
After some investigation, I think I have some ideas of the problem.
I run this:
%%bash
pip show tensorflow_transform| grep Location
This is the output
Location: /home/jupyter/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages
I tried to modify the $PATH by adding /home/jupyter/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages to the beginning of $PATH. However, I still failed to import tensorflow_transform.
Based on the above and the following information, I think, when I ran the import command, it executes Python 2.7, not Python 3.5
import sys
print('\n'.join(sys.path))
/usr/lib/python2.7
/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-x86_64-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk
/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old
/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/IPython/extensions
/home/jupyter/.ipython
Also,
import sys
sys.executable
'/usr/bin/python2'
I think the problem is tensorflow_transform package was installed in /home/jupyter/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages. But when I run "Import", it goes to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages to search for the package, rather than /home/jupyter/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages, so even updating $PATH does not help. Am I right?
I tried to upgrade my python, but
%%bash
pip install upgrade python
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Then, I added --user. It seems that the python is not really upgraded.
%%bash
pip install --user upgrade python
%%bash
python -V
Python 2.7.13
Any solution?
It seems to me that your jupyter notebook is not using the right python environment.
Perhaps, you installed the package under version 3.5,
but the Notebook uses the other one, thus it cannot find the library
You can pick the other interpreter by clicking on: Python(your version) - bottom left.
VS-Code - Select Python Environment 1
However you can do this also via:
CNTRL+SHIFT+P > Select Python Interpreter to start Jupyter Server
If that does not work make sure that the package you are trying to import is installed under the correct python environment.
If not open up a terminal, activate the environment and install it using:
pip install packagename
For example i did the same thing here: (Note: I'm using Anaconda)
installing tensorflow_transform
After a installation, you can import it in your code directly like this:
importing tensorflow_transform

Error : from PIL import Image

I want to create a wordcloud in Python 2.7 (in OS X Yosemite).
I install the package from but when I execute:
from PIL import Image
an error appears:
from PIL import _imaging as core
ImportError: dlopen(/Applications/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PIL/_imaging.so, 2): Library not loaded: libjpeg.8.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PIL/_imaging.so
Reason: image not found
Remember to install the prerequisites.
OS X Installation
We provide binaries for OS X in the form of Python Wheels. Alternatively you can compile Pillow from soure with XCode.
The easiest way to install external libraries is via Homebrew. After you install Homebrew, run:
$ brew install libtiff libjpeg webp little-cms2
Install Pillow with:
$ pip install Pillow

pip install PIL doesn't install into virtualenv

How do I install PIL?
>pip install PIL
Downloading/unpacking PIL
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement PIL
Some externally hosted files were ignored (use --allow-external PIL to allow).
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for PIL
Storing debug log for failure in /root/.pip/pip.log
>pip uninstall PIL
Can't uninstall 'PIL'. No files were found to uninstall.
pip install PIL --allow-external PIL --allow-unverified PIL
This is due to changes in the new version of Pip. Run pip --version and I'm willing to bet you are running 1.5. See the changelog here. This new default behavior enhances security. In PIL's case, the file you are installing actually comes from effbot.org (thus --allow-external) and PyPi doesn't have a checksum to guarantee validity (thus --allow-unverified).
Also, you might consider using the Pillow replacement to PIL.
Updated info for those reading in 2016:
--allow-external
and
--allow-unverified
were recently deprecated. Installing packages external to PyPi using pip is no longer supported: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0470/
As an alternative, when you really need to install that external package, you can download the source code and run its setup.py. For example, for PIL 1.1.7, download from http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/, then:
$ tar xvfz Imaging-1.1.7.tar.gz
$ cd Imaging-1.1.7
$ python setup.py install
(^ from the PIL README)
If you only want to install the package to a specific virtualenv, you can just activate your virtualenv first. ** thanks #Caumons
Alternatively, substitute the path to your virtualenv for 'python' in the third line, e.g.:
$ /home/username/virtualenv-name/bin/python setup.py install
