Answer 1

It is saying that the module named Pillow(PIL) is missing. You can install it using pip. Enter the following in Command Line.

pip install Pillow

Answer 2

You are lacking the module Pillow. To install it you can run the following command in your command line:

py -m pip install Pillow

Make sure you are doing this when your environment is active (after using the activate command), otherwise you will be installing it on your Python globally.

Answer 3

Some modules of Python are pre-installed, but no all. You can find modules index this official index . Then (if you have added pip to your path when you was installing Python), go to your terminal (cmd in Windows) and execute:

pip install [module_name]

Then don't forget to import it in your code

If you have want to share your projet, mark all modules used in a file named "requirements.txt" like that . Then the other user just have to execute

pip install -r requirements.txt

And modules will installed in the good version.
