I was trying a crash course on NumPy for images and this line threw an error:
>> from skimage import data
>> camera = data.camera()
Following is the error trace of the same:

What is the problem here? I'm using skimage 0.16.2, Python 3.6.9 on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.
I have plenty of experience with Scikit-Learn but a newbie to image processing and skimage.
This is an error with the latest release of Pillow (7.1.0). They have been rushing to fix it and you should soon be able to fix the problem by doing pip install -U Pillow. Monitor this page for the next release after 7.1.
You can also install the previous version, pip install Pillow==7.0.0.
