Pillow: cannot identify image file <_io.BytesIO object

[morrofino]

I am running the following code:

import requests
from PIL import Image
try:
    aux_im = Image.open(requests.get('https://www.bimbaylola.com/media/catalog/product/1/8/182BAC104_T2200_P_T_XX_1.jpg', stream=True).raw)
except Exception as e:
    print(str(e))

And getting the following error:

cannot identify image file <_io.BytesIO object at 0x1118918e0>

Any ideas why is this happening?

Thanks in advance!

• OS: macOS Sierra 10.12.1
• Python: Python 3.6.5
• Pillow: pillow-5.3.0

My suggestion is

import io
import requests
from PIL import Image
r = requests.get('https://www.bimbaylola.com/media/catalog/product/1/8/182BAC104_T2200_P_T_XX_1.jpg', stream=True)
aux_im = Image.open(io.BytesIO(r.content))

aux_im = Image.open(io.BytesIO(r.content))

It worked! Thank you!

@rahultrimukhe777 your code works for me. Could you provide some more details? Are you using the latest version of Pillow?
