TypeError on MacOs

[turbolay]

pyautogui version 0.9.54 python 3.10.9 64b macOs Ventura 13.1 - M2 Chip

I can't use pixel utilities with pyautogui, I always have the error '<' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int' even for simpliest code like:

import pyautogui
im1 = pyautogui.screenshot()

Same for pyautogui.pixel(100,100).

I didn't find any reference of this problem anywhere. Any idea? Am I missing a permission or something like that?

Thank you @turbolay, I'm getting the same error with ImageHorizonLibrary when it calls pyautogui.screenshot(), I just started investigating this issue and found your issue, good to know I'm not the only one.

I'll add additional info as I run my automated test's using github actions with ubuntu-latest, macos-latest and windows-lates,

• This is only happening on MacOS, as far as I can tell github actions run MacOS on x64 hardware so this is not a arm (M1/M2) specific.
• This is happening for me on python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11 so not python version specific

Hope that helps.

FYI adding this to my requirements.txt file worked around this issue for me

# pyscreeze 0.1.29 doesn't seem to work with pyautogui 0.9.53
pyscreeze==0.1.28
# pyautogui 0.9.54 has issues on MacOS https://github.com/asweigart/pyautogui/issues/783
# pyautogui is a prerequisite of imagehorizonlibrary
pyautogui!=0.9.54

Perhaps this commit is causing the problem.

Replacing the offending PIL__version check with the code below will fix the issue.

if tuple(map(int, PIL__version__.split('.'))) < (6, 2, 1):
