Python - QRCode error "No module named 'image'"

Question

I am trying to create an QRCode by using the 'qrcode' library. However, when I try to make an image, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python 3.5\lib\site-packages\qrcode\image\pil.py", line 6, in <module>
    from PIL import Image, ImageDraw
ImportError: No module named 'PIL'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/Floris/Documents/GitHub/MiniProject-GroepV1L/TEST_QR.py", line 4, in <module>
    img = qrcode.make(string)
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python 3.5\lib\site-packages\qrcode\main.py", line 11, in make
    return qr.make_image()
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python 3.5\lib\site-packages\qrcode\main.py", line 256, in make_image
    from qrcode.image.pil import PilImage
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python 3.5\lib\site-packages\qrcode\image\pil.py", line 8, in <module>
    import Image
ImportError: No module named 'Image'

The code I have right now is:

import qrcode

string = "This is a test string for StackOverflow"
img = qrcode.make(string)

You have to install Pillow:

pip install pillow

And probably some other dependencies.

You should have installed the qrcode package using pip so that the dependencies would have been installed.
