Image moves or deletes when displaying with PIL

Recently, I have been working on one of my python3 programs and then I wanted to to open a picture. Here is the code that I used to do it:
from PIL import Image
r = Image.open('C:/Users/sudam/OneDrive/Desktop/programming/python/projects/good night app/morning.png' )
r.show()
But as soon as I run this code,the windows photo viewer opens and gives and error saying that the specified file was moved. I tried googling this question but all of the answers I got only worked for python2, but not for python3.

Because you have whitespace in your path you need to use the r"string" format.
Also you need to use:
PIL.ImageShow.show(r)
to show your image.
It's also recommended to check if the file exist before opening any file.
You can do like this:
from pathlib import Path
from PIL import Image, ImageShow
path =r"C:/Users/sudam/OneDrive/Desktop/programming/python/projects/good night app/morning.png"
if Path(path).is_file():
r = Image.open(path)
ImageShow.show(r)
else:
print(f'{path} not exist')

Failed to read images when folder has special characters on name

Basically I'm using locateOnScreen() function, which is from pyautogui to read an image and then find in the screen by:
import os
import pathlib
import pyautogui
Image = os.path.join(os.path.sep, pathlib.Path(__file__).parent.resolve(), 'static', 'img', 'game', 'image-btn.png')
if pyautogui.locateOnScreen(BossImg, grayscale=True, confidence=0.95) != None:
print(True)
The code above works prety fine, the problem is when some users, even me because my native language is Portuguese and we have special characters in the language, and we might have some in a folder name.
Let's use this example:
In english:
C:\Users\guilh\Desktop\Folder
In Portuguese:
C:\Users\guilh\Área de Trabalho\Folder
So for some cases when we get a folder with accented characters, I'm getting the error:
Failed to read C:\Users\guilh\Área de Trabalho\Folder\image-btn.png because file is missing, has improper permissions, or is an unsupported or invalid format
But why am I gettig this error with special characters if I'm passing the path correctly with pathlib and os? If I run the same script in the English example, works perfectly.

After digging a bit in the source code of PyAutoGUI on Github, it appears that PyScreeze is used to detect an element on the screen from an image of it, and it uses openCV's imread() function to load the image.
cv2.imread() currently does not support pathnames containing Non-ASCII characters on Windows.
A pull-request has already been opened on the PyScreeze repository to use cv2.imdecode() instead of cv2.imread().
To fix this issue while waiting for the support for non-ASCII characters,
Method 1
The first option would be to modify the PyScreeze package installed (This can be annoying if anyone needs to be able to run the script easily from their computer).
- Identify the location of the PyScreeze module:
python -c "import pyscreeze; print(pyscreeze.__path__)"
- Modify __init__.py located in this folder:
Line 21,
import numpy as np
Line 166,
img_cv = cv2.imdecode(np.fromfile(img, dtype=np.uint8), LOAD_GRAYSCALE)
Line 168,
img_cv = cv2.imdecode(np.fromfile(img, dtype=np.uint8), LOAD_COLOR)
- Finally install numpy
pip install numpy
Method 2
As #SiP explained, Another possibility could be to copy the image to a temporary folder.
Something like that:
import os
import pathlib
import tempfile
import shutil
import pyautogui
Image = os.path.join(os.path.sep, pathlib.Path(__file__).parent.resolve(), 'static', 'img', 'game', 'image-btn.png')
temp_path = os.path.join(tempfile.gettempdir(), "file_name_in_ascii")
shutil.copy2(Image, temp_path)
if pyautogui.locateOnScreen(temp_path, grayscale=True, confidence=0.95) is not None:
print(True)

Fonts not found

I am trying to add simple text to a mp4 file. I have the mp4 file and I am using moviepy to add the text clip, however, I am continually running into errors.
My code:
import moviepy.editor as mpy
video_name='Test.mp4'
video = mpy.VideoFileClip('test_movie.mp4')
text = mpy.TextClip("Test", font="Arial", fontsize=40, color='white')
text = text.set_position('upper left').set_duration(video.duration)
test = mpy.CompositeVideoClip([video, text])
test.write_videofile('{}.mp4'.format(video_name))
And here is the error:
IOError: MoviePy Error: creation of None failed because of the following error:
convert: delegate library support not built-in '/Library/Fonts//Arial.ttf' (Freetype) # warning/annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1847.
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `PNG' # error/constitute.c/ReadImage/512.

.
.This error can be due to the fact that ImageMagick is not installed on your computer, or (for Windows users) that you didn't specify the path to the ImageMagick binary in file conf.py, or that the path you specified is incorrect
ImageMagick is installed on my system and I have been through a few threads on here but nothing has pointed me in the right direction. My font library is not empty and I do not know what it is having this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am on a Mac and using Spyder for a GUI.

Try to install ImageMagick from their website.
If the problem still there, find the moviepy/config_defaults.py and after the last line add:
IMAGEMAGICK_BINARY = "C:\\Program Files\\ImageMagick_VERSION\\convert.exe

Reading image using Pillow fails in Jupyter notebook

I'm trying to read a jpg file using Pillow (Version 3.2.0) in Jupyter notebook (Python 3.4), but it fails with the following error:
OSError: broken data stream when reading image file
I'm using the following code:
from PIL import Image
im = Image.open("/path/to/image.jpeg")
im.show()
It works fine both in the interactive Python shell and using Python 2.7 instead of 3.4.
I've followed these steps already: Using Pillow with Python 3
Anyone an idea what's going on?

Looks like you're not pointing to the directory where your photo is stored.
import os
defaultWd = os.getcwd()
defaultWd # Sets your curretn wd
os.chdir(defaultWd + '\\Desktop') # Points to your photo--e.g., on Desktop
os.getcwd() # Shows change in wd
from PIL import Image
im = Image.open("Mew.jpg")
im.show() # Will plot to your default image viewing software
And another way if you don't want to change current wd:
im = Image.open(os.getcwd() + "\\Desktop\\Mew.jpg")
im.show()
And if you want to plot inline:
from matplotlib.pyplot import imshow
%matplotlib inline
inlinePic = Image.open(os.getcwd() + "\\Desktop\\Mew.jpg")
imshow(inlinePic)
Note: You may also want to simply try typing 'jpg' instead of 'jpeg' as you did above, if your image is in your current working directory. Also, if PIC is not installed, you'll get this error NameError: name 'Image' is not defined.

The problem was related to another import: I was importing Tensorflow before PIL, which caused the problem. Same issue as this one: https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/issues/2000. Changing the order of the imports solved it.

Python troubles

I've been trying to throw together a python program that will align, crop and create an RGB image from HST and VLA .fits data. Unfortunately I've run into a bit of a problem with it continually opening a past file that does not exist in the folder and neither is it opening in the code itself. I've googled and googled and haven't found anything like it, so perhaps it's just common sense to most, but I can't figure it out. Here's the error message:
You can see at the top that the program I'm running has the filename rgbhstvla.py. I'm not sure what the error message means. Here's the python program as well:
import pyfits
import numpy as np
import pylab as py
import img_scale
from pyraf import iraf as ir
fits.open('3c68.fits', readonly)
j_img = pyfits.getdata('230UVIS.fits')
h_img = pyfits.getdata('230IR.fits')
k_img = pyfits.getdata('5GHZ.fits')
jmin,jmax = j_img.mean()+0.75*j_img.std(),j_img.mean()+5*j_img.std()
hmin,hmax = h_img.mean()+0.75*h_img.std(),h_img.mean()+5*h_img.std()
kmin,kmax = k_img.mean()+0.75*k_img.std(),k_img.mean()+5*k_img.std()
img = numpy.zeros((1024,1024,3))
img[:,:,0] = img_scale.asinh(j_img,scale_min=jmin,scale_max=jmax)
img[:,:,1] = img_scale.asinh(h_img,scale_min=hmin,scale_max=hmax)
img[:,:,2] = img_scale.asinh(k_img,scale_min=kmin,scale_max=kmax)
pylab.clf()
pylab.imshow(img)
pylab.show()
(I'm still working on the program since I'm new to python, tips here would be nice as well but they're mostly unnecessary as I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually).

Python cannot find the file 3c68.fits, which is expected to be in the current working directory, C:\Users\Brandon\Desktop\Research. Either make sure the file is in that directory, or provide an absolute path in your code.
