ImportError: cannot import name 'PILLOW_VERSION' from 'PIL' (/home/mona/anaconda3/envs/hp/lib/python3.7/site-packages/PIL/__init__.py)

I have this error with PIL when using your version of packages:

(hp) mona@mona-ThinkStation-P7:~/HP/HybridPose$ pip show pillow
Name: Pillow
Version: 9.4.0
Summary: Python Imaging Library (Fork)
Home-page: https://python-pillow.org

Location: /home/mona/anaconda3/envs/hp/lib/python3.7/site-packages
Requires: 
Required-by: torchvision

This is despite being able to use Pillow separately:

also, when importing torchvision I get the same error:

Hi Mona,

This is likely related to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59659146/could-not-import-pillow-version-from-pil.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have further concerns.
