from PIL import Image, ImageTk ImportError: cannot import name ImageTk

Question

I am using Pycharm 2018.2.4 community edition on Ubuntu 18.04 and I have started python 2.7 project and using the IDE settings -> Project Interpreter I have installed Pillow but whenever I try:

from PIL import Image, ImageTk

I get the following error:

from PIL import Image, ImageTk ImportError: cannot import name ImageTk

how to fix this?

Answer 1

Have you installed it correctly?

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

Answer 2

Just simply update your Pillow version to the latest for example PIL 7.0.0 worked for me.
