Answer 1

For Debian/Ubuntu:

Python 2

sudo apt-get install python-imaging python-pil.imagetk

Python 3

sudo apt-get install python3-pil python3-pil.imagetk

For Archlinux:

sudo pacman -S python-pillow  

It will install the package and you can use it: from PIL import ImageTk

Answer 2

I tried this to install Pillow itself and it works well, i didn't use sudo.

$ pip install Pillow --user

Feel free to edit my answer/correct me.

Answer 3

You will have to change the code like this:

import PIL
from PIL import ImageTk
from PIL import Image

It should work fine!

Answer 4

sudo apt-get install python3-pil.imagetk

It worked for me!

Answer 5

Got it figure out! You must import them separately and not on one line.

from PIL import Image
from PIL import ImageTk

Insead of

from PIL import Image, ImageTk

Answer 6

Python does act up a little when importing TkImage and Image together. You need to import the PIL first and then import TkImage and Image individually like below-

import PIL
from PIL import TkImage
from PIL import Image

This should work fine. You can also check if the pillow is installed in your system correctly by using command prompt like below-

1. Open Command Prompt
2. Type python
3. Once you are in python, just type :

import PIL

4. If this command doesn't throw any errors, then you are good to follow the above method of importing TkImage and Image separately.
