Cannot import name 'Image'

Question

I'm trying to set up Python Imaging Library, but I'm getting an error.

>>> from imaging import Image
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name 'Image'

My directory:

Answer 1

You are importing a wrong module. To install PIL I used

 pip install pillow

then you can use:

from PIL import Image

in your python code.

您可能将您的项目命名为“PIL.py”，请更改它:)

Answer 3

In my case, it was the issue with the case of the package name. Use pip install Image rather than pip install image

Answer 4

If you have saved your file with the name "PIL.py" then it's a problem. In my case, I did the same thing that's why I was here to find the solution. When I changed the name of the file then it worked properly.

Actually, we can't save a python file with the exact same name as a python library which we are going to use in that file.
