import Image ImportError: No module named Image #2

Closed dixon1e closed 8 years ago

dixon1e commented 8 years ago

When using pillow on Mac OS X Yosemite this error occurs. Solution is to change in cnnimg.py

import Image as img

to

from PIL import Image as img

Thanks a lot for reporting the issue. I appreciate it.

I'm aware that the Image library is no longer supported and is incompatible with Python 3. Pillow is an obvious replacement and its in the pipeline. However, I'm unable to get time to change the library from Image to Pillow. This would require updated import instructions and whether its consistent with the earlier usage of Image library. This is in the pipeline, however, if you're interested in the updating this library from Image to PIL, I would really appreciate. Please let me know. Thanks again.

Hi Ankit,

Thank you for reaching out. I posted the issue mainly to have a placeholder for the error. Hopefully Mac users will see this and get a quick fix as they try the code.

My main interest is processing images and finding objects, currently a place where Convolutional NN's are big. I'll check back in with you if I get time to work on this.

Thanks for your response. I understand.

It's true that convolutional neural networks are known to work well for object recognition, however, I hope you are aware that the library is about cellular neural networks (CNN) which are different from convolutional neural networks (ConvNet). Thanks.

Hi Ankit,

Absolutely aware, but thanks for checking, as I admit I was quite confused at first. The speed of the Cellular networks looks really fast and that's quite the problem to solve for Convo's. The fact that chips exist is even more interesting. Your post and repo are very well appreciated and I hope to be able to contribute.

Yeah, I know it could be confusing :)

Originally ConvNet acronym was used for convolutional neural networks, however, some people prefer using CNN, which can lead to confusion at times. Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate it. I hope the library would be useful to you.

try: from PIL import Image except ImportError: import Image

ankitaggarwal011 commented 6 years ago

@Sai-Adarsh Thanks, but this was already resolved.

It occurs as a result of the PIL library's degradation. Instead, you should instal and use the pillow library's replacement to address the problem. I am aware that the Image library is deprecated and incompatible with Python 3. Pillow is a natural successor, and it's on the way.  I find this link helpful https://kodlogs.net/331/importerror-no-module-named-image/
