using python in free wing ide to import images

Question

i would like to import some images to my program im writing in a free version of wing ide on a windows 10 computer my question is this is there a way to do this if so what format do the images need to be in?

Answer 1

Oh, you need to invoke this in your operating system's command line, not the Python console. Pip is just an installer so it has to be executed as a normal file.

The above goes for *all* modules you might want to "pip install" in the future.

Answer 2

Hmm... I used a simple 'pip install pillow' instruction and it worked like a charm. Just open your Python console and run it. Let me know if you get any errors, we'll solve it ;)

Answer 3

Might be an issue with your PATH setting perhaps. Did you install your Python correctly?

Answer 4

What exactly do you want to do, display those images to the user? Do you use a particular GUI library?

Answer 5

Alright then, let's break this down. What kind of error do you get? What is your Python version? Does it work if you just enter 'python' in the command line?

Answer 6

Yep, it's most likely the PYTHONPATH thing then. It is an environment variable which has to be set and point to where your Python installation is located. Check out the docs on how to set it properly in Windows:
https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html

Answer 7

Python is free, forever and ever :)

It's most probably the file path setting, you have to set it manually, I think. Check out this instruction set:
https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#excursus-setting-environment-variables

Answer 8

Try pillow module, it handles all sorts of files neatly and easily:

from PIL import Image
im = Image.open('myphoto.jpg')
im.show()

Answer 10

I want to display an image to the user

Answer 11

Answer 12

Answer 13

when I try to run pip install pillow I get a Syntex error

Answer 14

that makes sense thank you

Answer 15

I've tried running it in the cmd line and also in \ py.exe and I can't get it to work not sure where I need to run this command

Answer 16

I installed python because I'm taking a college course on it so I just followed their guide lines on how to do it some assuming I did yes

Answer 17

python v3.6 if I run the install command in cmd prompt the error is pip is not an internal or external command if I type just python same error

Answer 18

if I enter py.exe it will go that far and then I get an invalid syntax error at the end of the word install

Answer 19

I'm still not getting anywhere still getting the same errors is it possible that it's because I have the free version of python?

Answer 20

I'm reinstalling python to see if that helps
