Pillow: Compatibility with Python 3.8?

[gotexis]

Hi is the master branch working for 3.8 yet?

It's not officially supported yet for things like binary releases, but it's tested on Travis CI and we've fixed some deprecations. Official support will likely come after Python 3.8.0 is out (expected 2019-10-21).

Feel free to try it out, and please let us know if you find anything amiss.

Hey :)

Yeah, Using Windows, I actually got this message

Pillow does not yet support Python 3.8 and does not yet provide prebuilt Windows binaries. We do not recommend building from source on Windows.

Hmm, I guess this is it?

I wanted to use the Walrus operator := to save like 2 lines of code but end up having to put python in Docker and compile Pillow myself ;)

I guess, No Walrus operator for me for another 6 months XD

Actually, I believe Pillow is really something imperative for many Python projects. Without it, looks like 3.8 if off-limits to a significant proportion of python users :)

Yep, that's the one.

I uploaded Pillow‑6.0.0‑cp38 wheels for Windows at https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pillow
