Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PIL>=1.1.6

[Timothy Fry]

I get the following error while installing CrossMgr in Fedora 25:

Collecting PIL>=1.1.6 (from CrossMgr==2.8.5)

  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PIL>=1.1.6 (from CrossMgr==2.8.5) (from versions: )

No matching distribution found for PIL>=1.1.6 (from CrossMgr==2.8.5)

I realize I can manually download and install PIL, but I currently have pillow-3.4.2-1 installed and 40 other packages that rely on pillow, so I don't want to remove it; from what I understand pillow and PIL cause conflicts when installed in the same environment.

I've searched StackOverflow for a workaround, but I'm coming up short.

What can I be doing better here? Thanks in advance!

Hi Tim,

According to the docs, Pillow is a superset of PIL and supports "include PIL" and the "Image" object (see here).  This is all that CrossMgr needs.

So, if you have Pillow installed, PIL should not be necessary.

I will take a look at the CrossMgr dependencies.

There a way to make it work with either PIL or Pillow.

Thanks Edward!

 

Yeah, I saw the same thing in the docs and I've been going around and around with this thing, but pip / CrossMgr keeps wanting to pull PIL in as a dependency. I tried running pip with --no-deps but then it just fails to build altogether.

 

<code>

Python 2.7.13 (default, Jan 12 2017, 17:59:37) 

[GCC 6.3.1 20161221 (Red Hat 6.3.1-1)] on linux2

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import PIL

>>> print PIL.PILLOW_VERSION

3.4.2

>>> 

</code>

 

So I'm looking through your source seeing if anything stands out (I'm not the best with Python); I'm down to CameraTest.py now. Thank you for writing clear, well commented code! :-) I'll let you know if I come across anything.

I think there is a simpler solution.

In setup.py, look for the line containing "PIL >= 1.1.6" and remove it.

Then run the setup.py again.

Sorry - just remove the dependency 'PIL >= 1.1.6' (it may not be on its own line).

[Timothy Fry]

LOL! Just did that. 

The same requirement is listed under CrossMgr/pypi.py and I took care of that one too. 

Now I'm getting a different build error, but I'll dig through that and see if it's something with my setup.

Thanks for the help! :-)

That other build error was 'CrossMgrImages/flags' listed among the data_files in setup.py (there's no file 'CrossMgrImages/flags'). I'm being lazy now, so I just touched an empty file and tarballed the whole thing.

After fixing that it built with no issues! :-)

Thanks again for the help!!! :-D

Tim

[Edward Sitarski]

It's been a while since I looked at that build.

When I get a chance, I will add the flags.

Quick question - are you running on Linux or Mac?

The latest version of CrossMgr has no dependency on PIL as all the camera stuff was moved to CrossMgrVideo.

I will see if I can run a new build later today.

[Timothy Fry]

I'm running both (lol).

 

Thank you for building and maintaining this! I want you to know how amazing this contribution is; we're a nonprofit and we rely upon this wonderful tool.

 

I'm not the best with Python, but if you ever decide you need help maintaining it, I'd be happy to help. :-)
