What did you do?

pip3 install Pillow

What did you expect to happen?

installing the package properly without the hassle.

What actually happened?

  ERROR: Failed building wheel for Pillow

What are your OS, Python and Pillow versions?

  • OS: macOS Big Sur 11.0.1
  • Python: Python 3.9.0 (default, Nov 14 2020, 10:50:03) [Clang 12.0.0 (clang-1200.0.32.27)] on darwin
  • Pillow: 8.0.1

I was able to install after a short search engine research

  1. brew install libjpeg
  2. pip3 install Pillow

These libraries are listed in the macOS installation from source instructions linked in the error message: https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html#building-on-macos

However, this shouldn't be necessary, since Pillow does provide pre-built wheels for macOS: https://pypi.org/project/Pillow/#files (Pillow-8.0.1-cp39-cp39-macosx_10_10_x86_64.whl sounds like the right file)

Are you using one of the new Apple Silicon Macs?

It's a packaging issue, I'm not sure if the PIP or Pillow is to blame. both are responsible.

hazarek picture hazarek on 16 Nov 2020

What version of pip do you have? Does it help to upgrade it?

We also recommend running python3 -m pip install ... (or whatever your python command is) instead of pip install ... to make it explicit which Python you're installing for.

If it doesn't help, please can you post the full verbose output of python3 -m pip install Pillow -v

hugovk picture hugovk on 16 Nov 2020

@hugovk- Big sur clean installation, everything is the latest version. Latest python3 installed with brew.

  1. brew install python3
  2. brew link python3
  3. pip3 install Pillow
    Using pip 20.2.4 from /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pip (python 3.9)

Thanks, what do you get when running this?

python3 -m pip install Pillow -v

If you don't want to paste it here, please could you upload it as a zip file or to https://gist.github.com/ or pastebin?

The reason I ask is because it might help us find out why it's not installing a prebuilt binary wheel and is attempting to build from source.

There should be stuff like this, showing in my case that it found Pillow-8.0.1-cp39-cp39-macosx_10_10_x86_64.whl as a potential match, and skipped those for Linux and other Python versions:

I don't even need the jpeg format. . It is a pity that there is no PIL alternative for writing animated GIFs.

hazarek picture hazarek on 16 Nov 2020

Starting with Pillow 3.0.0, libjpeg is required by default, but may be disabled with the --disable-jpeg flag.

libjpeg is not the default in the operating system, but the default for Pillow. I hate ad hominem developers.

Also, this is very difficult to write. because I just want to write gif and png. I need to reduce the package size.

python3 -m pip install --upgrade Pillow --global-option="build_ext" --global-option="--disable-jpeg" --global-option="--disable-zlib" --global-option="--disable-tiff" --global-option="--disable-freetype" --global-option="--disable-lcms" --global-option="--disable-webp" --global-option="--disable-webpmux" --global-option="--disable-jpeg2000" --global-option="--disable-imagequant" --global-option="--disable-xcb"

Having just upgraded to Big Sur and trying to install Pillow into Python 3.6 using pip, I also see that the binary wheels are not being recognised.

Looking around, this seems to be a wider problem than just Pillow.

https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/9138#issuecomment-727659873

The cause is clear, pip is not seeing a wheel built for MacOS 10.x as valid for MacOS 11.

https://github.com/pypa/packaging/pull/319 is a potential solution.

pypa/packaging#319 has now been merged. Testing again, I find that pip now installs using the binary.

@hazarek if you are interested in trying again, I think you might also find that the binary wheel is detected, meaning that it should now successfully install on your machine?

Any solution for error above for M1 Mac installation?

eashishkalra picture eashishkalra on 16 Dec 2020

@bschollnick You probably don't want to compile, you probably want there to be a wheel… @eashishkalra Traceback?

@python-pillow/pillow-team Maybe we just need to leave one of these "headers or library files" issues opened permanently … and then paste in links to other more relevant issues … e.g. "wheels for M1 macs" ?

@eashishkalra

  1. brew install libjpeg
  2. pip3 install Pillow

I think that was one of the inspirations for the new Discussions feature, as in most cases installation is not really an "issue" in Pillow (although it is in some cases).

https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/issues/5093 is for the new M1 Macs, please can you try the suggestions at https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/issues/5093#issuecomment-745283499?

We could try that, and maybe lock and pin it, but I think people often find other issues via search. The M1 issue is currently 3rd in the issue list, so not that hard to find if browsing, not searching. I'll pin that too. And we probably will need some M1 changes for the next release.
