Import Image Using Pillow : No Module Named 'PIL'

Several posts were advising to import Pillow using pip, after having uninstalled both PIL and Pillow, what i did : python -m pip uninstall Pillow (worked) python -m pip uninstall P

Solution 1:

I'm on Linux so maybe it doesn't pertain to you, but for me python is Python2.7 and I have to use python3 to get Python3.5

jcomeau@aspire:/usr/src/myturnb$ pip3 install --user Pillow
