There's a Python problem which means wheels built against Python 3.6.1, such as Pillow 4.1.0, won't work on Python 3.6.0.

The fix is to update to Python 3.6.1, or install Pillow 4.0.0 (which was built against Python 3.6.0).

For more info see: https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/issues/2479 https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2017-March/147707.html https://bugs.python.org/issue29943

Update:

This has affected a number of Python libraries.

However, there's the new Pillow 4.1.1 release works around this, so you can now update to Pillow 4.1.1 and use it with both Python 3.6.0 and 3.6.1.
