pillow imaging ImportError

Question

I installed Pillow 3.0.0 by pip onto my Python3.5 on my 32bit windows7 PC. from PIL import Image gives me:

File "C:\Python 3.5\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 66, in <module>
    from PIL import _imaging as core
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

The Image file contains this comment:

# If the _imaging C module is not present, Pillow will not load.

The PIL directory contains no -imaging files. There was one called _imaging.cp35-win32.pyc but it has mysteriously disappeared after an overnight windows update. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I had the same problem, after many times uninstalling/installing Pillow,I uninstalled my anaconda as i realized this Pillow package was not working properly . I reinstalled anaconda. And then it worked !

I don't know it is the best approach or not, but my problem was solved.
