Installing Pillow for Maya 2016 / Python 3.6

[francois bonnard]

Key guys

I am looking for a way to install Pillow for Python 3.6 on Windows 10.

There is a package to download on gitHub, but no exe files (just a basic tutorial on how to build it, which is a bit above my competencies)

Any hep ?

Thanks

Fransua

I have stepped back to Python 2.7.12 with Pillow installed with pip.

It worked with the Idle provide with Python, but in Maya :

ImportError: file <maya console> line 5: No module named PIL #

Are you on windows?

Because Maya (2013+) does not use the same C-runtime as standard python2.7 on windows, which means you can't just reuse the same C-extensions between the two versions.

Usually you need to rebuild the library against the version(s) of Maya that you're planning to support.

Hi Robert. 

Yes for Windows. 

Where Can I find documentation about rebuilding the library ?

The documentation is here:

https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/3.3.x/installation.html#building-from-source

However, quoting that documentation:

"We don’t recommend trying to build on Windows. It is a maze of twisty passages, mostly dead ends. There are build scripts and notes for the Windows build in the winbuild directory."
