  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for Pillow
Failed to build Pillow
ERROR: Could not build wheels for Pillow, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

After some searches, I've tried:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install --upgrade pillow

But it didn't work and everything was just same as before.

Will be much appreciated if somebody help. I really need this to be solved.

Thanks a lot.


Solution

  • I had tried different ways and the solution is: Changing the version of Python.

    By the time, my python-version was 3.10 and some other packages were not supported either, and raised same error; So I installed version 3.9.5 and everything works just fine.
