Code:
import PIL

Answer 1

Jianmin Chen I am pretty sure pillow is just an update of PIL, they're still the same. If he installed PIL, then the only way to do that is by running pip install pillow, which I think is what he did, since he said he installed it.

Answer 2

Make sure that you installed it with pip for python3.8, and not some older version. Also, what command did you use to install it ?

Answer 4

The current free version of PIL, I believe, is 1.1.7, which doesn't work for Python 3.x. So yeah, unfortunately, you can't use PIL. It's outdated anyways, though, so you should try Pillow, which is supposed to be a more modern and updated version of PIL.

Answer 5

Aymane Boukrouh [INACTIVE], sorry, you're right. Pillow is apparently a fork of PIL.

By the way, why did you place [INACTIVE] in your profile name? I'm curious as to the reasons.🤔
