Issue is fixed by installing pip install pillow.

I tried the aforementioned steps but still facing the same issue. I installed the pillow using the command pip install pillow

I had the same problem: Pillow was installed but I was getting the "Pillow is needed for GUI mode" exception. Then I realized Pillow was installed in python 3 and not python 2.

Instructions for how to install a package to a specific version of python.
