Hi,

I thought that it would be good fun to create this with some girls at school but I keep having problems with out of date code etc.

When I run the code the latest problem is that it is unable to locate the PIL?

Can anyone help?

Thanks
Emma

It could be one of several things. If you can answer the following questions I'll do what I can to identify the problem.

- Which version of Python are you using? (2 or 3)
- Are you using Raspbian Jessie? (from raspberrypi.org/downloads)
- Has your SD been kept card up-to-date? (regular/recent apt-get update/upgrade)

Did you follow the software installation step?
https://www.raspberrypi.org/learning/th ... /software/

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install -y python3-picamera python3-pip
sudo pip3 install guizero
sudo pip3 install twython
sudo apt-get install -y python-PIL

There is PIL

I think that's the issue - you'll need the Python 3 version of PIL. The package is "python3-pil" not "python-pil".

Hi Ben, I hope you can help. I am also having problems with PIL.

The first two lines of code are:

Code: Select all

import tkinter as tk
from PIL import ImageTk, Image

The error message is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pi/Camera/new_3.py", line 2, in <module>
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
ImportError: cannot import name 'ImageTk'

PIL does seem to be correctly installed:

Code: Select all
