Package (Python PIL/Pillow) installed but I can't import it

Question

I\'ve been using python for simple data processing scripts, but now I want to do some image processing and I encountered a problem. Importing the pillow module doesn\'t seem

You are importing incorrectly. Try using:

import  PIL
from PIL import Image

Answer 3

import PIL
