How to install pillow for python3 Topic is solved

[dietpiOK]

Hi!

I used the PIL library with python 2.x for a long time.
Now I am shifting all my python code to python3. Unfortunately I am not able to get the pillow package installed on my dietpi-machine.

Did anyone suceed on that?

When running "pip install pillow -v --no-cache-dir" I get the following error messages:

ERROR: Failed building wheel for pillow

and later:

ERROR: Command "/usr/bin/python -u -c 'import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='"'"'/tmp/pip-install-ZNfXJ2/pillow/setup.py'"'"';f=getattr(tokenize, '"'"'open'"'"', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('"'"'\r\n'"'"', '"'"'\n'"'"');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, '"'"'exec'"'"'))' install --record /tmp/pip-record-PY96iM/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-ZNfXJ2/pillow/


Any help appreciated.

Best regards,
Olaf

Try to use the php3 command and install the setuptools and tokenize modules first:

Code: Select all

pip3 install setuptools
pip3 install tokenize
pip3 install pillow

The "Failed building wheel" errors can be ignored btw. Those are not required, but if you want to get rid of the error message:

Code: Select all

pip3 install wheel

[dietpiOK]

there is no pip3 command and "apt-get install pip3" will not work...

apt-get install python3-pip tells me that it is already installed and I can find "pip", "pip2" and "pip2.7" on my raspi.

setuptools are also installed and when trying to install "tokenize" I can see the following:

root@raspi:~# pip install tokenize
DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 will reach the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 won't be maintained after that date. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.7.
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple
Collecting tokenize
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tokenize (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for tokenize

Any idea?

@dietpiOK
Did you even install PIP for Python3 then? G_AGI python3-pip

[dietpiOK]

root@raspi:~# G_AGI python3-pip
[ OK ] Root access verified.
[ INFO ] APT installation for: python3-pip, please wait...
[ OK ] G_AGI python3-pip

seems so...

[MichaIng]

Very strange, the pip3 binary is definitely part of that package. Can you run: dpkg -L python3-pip

[dietpiOK]

root@raspi:~# dpkg -L python3-pip

How can I uninstall and reinstall pip3 or python?

[dietpiOK]

i uninstalled and reinstalled python pin with the dietpi-software tool.
Now I can use pip 3 command but I am still not able to install pillow
