在Mac Os X Mavericks（10.9）上为Python 3.4安装Pillow

Question

I want to install Pillow for Python 3.4 (PIL fork) on my mac osx 10.9. I've searched on the net but found no way to install it. Any idea ?

Answer 1

I have both Python 2 and Python 3 installed via Homebrew :

Homebrew provides a formula for Python 2.7.x and one for Python 3.x. They don't conflict, so they can both be installed. The executable python will always point to the 2.x and python3 to the 3.x version.

So:

$ brew update
$ brew install python3

This also gives pip for Python 2 and pip3 for Python 3. So you can install Pillow like:

$ brew install libtiff libjpeg webp little-cms2
$ pip3 install pillow

Then:

$ python3
