Can't Install Pillow on Python 3.7.0a on Windows

I am using Python 3.7.0a2 and Django (2, 0, 2, 'final', 0) in Windows 10.
while I was migrating my project I got the following error:
ERRORS:
accounts.UserProfile.image: (fields.E210) Cannot use ImageField because Pillow is not installed.
HINT: Get Pillow at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow or run command "pip install Pillow".
Then I ran the 'pip install Pillow' command and I got the following error:

How can I install Pillow?

The pre-compiled versions of Pillow are available here, but not all versions are included.
As long as you make sure to use a version that has a precompiled binary (either as direct install or in a pip/peotry/etc dependency list), things will work.

Try installing Pillow like below (If you are using Python3):
pip3 install pillow
And this: (If you are using Python2):
pip install pillow

Pillow needs to be compiled on Windows. pip install Pillow tries to use a precompiled version and if it fails - it tries to compile it locally.
You're using Python 3.7 which hasn't been released yet, I suspect the Pillow people have not prepared a precompiled binary for this.
Easiest solution would be to downgrade to Python 3.6. Otherwise, you'll need to install everything necessary to compile Pillow.

For latest Anaconda with python3.7, pillow is available. Install it by using:
conda install pillow
After that, deactivate your current env, and activate env again, then it should work. (This step is important to make it effective)

Maybe someone will be useful.
Only after I updated some packages to certain versions, I was able to install package Pillow (7.0.0) on virtual env.
I updated package setuptools to the latest version (on that moment, 44.0.0)
And updated package pip to 19.2.3.
for reference, I used:
Python 3.8.0,
Django 2.2.8,
Virtualenv 16.7.9,
Windows 10 SL x64

First I was trying to upgrade setuptools, but it was not successful. So I decided to uninstall the previous version. Now I can't install setuptools. I have tried the following:
pip install setuptools:

I think uninstalling and reinstalling python would fix the problem, but before trying that I thought maybe you can help me to find the cause of the problem and the right way to fix this. Thanks.

I was able to solve my problem (on Win 8.1 64bit, Python 3.4.2) with the change suggested here:
https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/pull-request/122/ensure-py_version-and-platform-are-str-in/diff#chg-pkg_resources/init.py

Instead of downloading ez_setup.py, use get-pip.py instead. From the docs, if setuptools is not installed, it will install it first.
Since you're still getting an error, try installing pip and setuptools from Christoph Gohlke's Python Extension Packages for Windows repository. Make sure you download the 32-bit installers for Python 3.4. Once downloaded, run the .exe files and hopefully everything will be back to normal. There are tons of scientific computing packages there, so if you want numpy linked against Intel's MKL, and scipy, which uses the enhanced version of numpy, go right ahead!

Well it seemed to me that my python installation was completely messed up. It could have been related to a temporary installation of python 2 on my system a few weeks ago. Anyway, I thought it would be easier for me to just uninstall and reinstall the whole thing. So I uninstalled python and then reinstalled, but even that was not enough. Finally, I manually deleted C:\Python34 and reinstalled python and now it works fine.

Python Pip Install "Egg" Error (Pandas and other modules)

Having issues installing some python modules (for example pandas) and also had some issues installing ipython notebook.
This error seems to have come up before for other folks (Python pip install fails: invalid command egg_info), but they were using Python 2.7, whereas I'm using 2.6 (default with my Mac OS 10.6). Also I tried easy_install -U setuptools and pip install --upgrade setuptools but neither worked.
This is the error I get for installing pandas:

Storing debug log for failure in /Users/AWal/Library/Logs/pip.log
For installing iPython, this is the error that I get:

When I do sudo pip install pandas (another module that I can't install), I get a long long traceback with the end error message:

A permission Denied message would suggest you to run your command as root as suggested by Hackaholic.
try sudo pip install YOUR_PACKAGE
You might also want to have a look at virtualenv to use a more isolated environment.
Under debian based distributions, you might install python-virtualenv package with apt-get install python-virtualenv.
Then create a virtual environment names whatever by typing virtualenv whatever (this will create a folder whatever inside your current folder.
Then cd to it and type bin/activate to enter this virtual environment.
From there try again your pip install command.
Might help
UPDATE :
You might try to use the suggested solutions available here
To sumup, try to add export ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future inside ~/.bash_profile

This question comes first in Google, but the second one actually worked:
pip install -U setuptools
pip install ez_setup

Howto install distribute for Python 3

See the error message above.
Is there possibly an unknown dependency that I'm missing?
Downloading the source tarball and executing python setup.py install produces the exact same output.
Edit: Added the full stack trace for running the installer.

So apparently the python.org version of Python3 is different from the ActiveState version of Python3. (You should file a bug to someone (I'm not sure to whom))
The fix I have (I'm not sure of all the repercussions)
Download:
http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.6.12.tar.gz#md5=5a52e961f8d8799d243fe8220f9d760e
and then extracting it and modify:
distribute-0.6.12\setuptools\sandbox.py:165
from:
except ImportError:
to
except (ImportError, AttributeError):
that will silence the error and allow you to run:
python setup.py install
It took me awhile to find a package from http://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=browse&c=533&show=all that would actually install on either version of Python3. "files" was the first package, and since it installed I am pretty sure that easy_install is working for both copies of Python3.
...hope it works! (That's all I can help you with)

this is a bug with Distribute http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/151 ... it should be fixed by next release (0.6.13). It is only reproducible with PyWin32 installed; and ActivePython comes bundled with PyWin32.
