Can't install Pillow in Windows

Question

The installation process asks for zlib and I even setup & cloned it from Github. I\'m new to all of this.

Error message:

C:\\Users\\GThell\\Pillo         


        

Answer 1

On Windows, you're better off using precompiled binaries (wheels) than building from source.

Python 3.6.0 final is due out later this week on 2016-12-23 and Pillow does not yet support it. Hopefully it will be supported for the next quarterly release, on 1 January 2017.

However, in the meantime, you can download an unofficial wheel from here, then pip install filename.whl
