no module named pil, cant use pip or conda-CodePudding

Basically it's saying pil doesnt exist. I Googled that, it tells me to install pillow. I tried with pip, with conda, different variations of commands, and nothing worked. Specifically there's a syntax error on install in pip install Pillow.

import PIL
import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("1920x1080")
play = True
cor1 = PIL.Image.open(r"src\obj\1.jpg")
cor2 = PIL.Image.open(r"src\obj\2.jpg")
cor3 = PIL.Image.open(r"src\obj\3.jpg")
menuop = PIL.Image.open(r"src\obj\menuop.jpg")

def menu():
    global play
    play = False
    menuop.show()
    userchoice = Tkinter.Button()
    button.place(x=1171, y=453, in_=root)
while play == True:
    menu()

Tried: Installing pillow through code, cmd, got a syntax error.
Also tried import image instead, got same error.
Also tried conda install instead of pip install.
Also tried a bunch of variations of the command like --install, ipython, !pip, etc.

In short, can't install pillow, pil doesn't exist, image doesn't exist, can't use pip or conda.

@martineau in the comments linked me a site to download pillow manually, I also tried that. I got the error unable to create process.

CodePudding user response：

Pip install in your local python folder. Then in the same folder pip install Pillow,tkinter,etc. Dont name your files to something like: "tkinter", "pillow",etc

CodePudding user response：

You don't need to import pip in your script.

Another thing is, after you import PIL, you should use PIL.Image.open(...) (note the PIL. prefix and uppercase I)

Also, another way I often use to try to install is python3 -m pip install Pillow (or python -m pip install Pillow if python3 is not recognized in your system). More install instructions can be consulted through the official Pillow doc
