  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PIL (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for PIL

its not work

i use : pip install http://effbot.org/downloads/Imaging-1.1.6.tar.gz install is ok, but still "ImportError: No module named _imagingft"

i also download the source tar of pillow, but too many libs not found ! installed libs :

SYSPKGS="$SYSPKGS kernel python python-devel telnet subversion libffi libffi-devel"
SYSPKGS="$SYSPKGS tcl tk ncurses-devel expat-devel bzip2-devel sqlite-devel"
SYSPKGS="$SYSPKGS openssl-devel openssl pcre pcre-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel"
SYSPKGS="$SYSPKGS libtiff-devel libjpeg-devel libjpeg-turbo-static freetype-devel"
SYSPKGS="$SYSPKGS zlib zlib-devel zlib-static wget curl net-tools"

yum -y install $SYSPKGS

most google's result is for ubuntu, win, macOS, any solution for centos6.8 ?

HELP ! :(

Solution

  • Pillow's 4.0.0 doesn't work with PyPy: I had to fix distutils inside PyPy before I could get it installed at all. With this fix, your example works.

    You can install manually the fix by adding a few lines to the file lib-python/2.7/distutils/unixccompiler.py inside your PyPy distirbution: see https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/commits/66ef3eb6a91e . It will also be included in the next PyPy release.
