ImportError: cannot import name 'PILLOW_VERSION' from 'PIL'

[shamsvahid2]

I got this error while importing DataLoaderBuilder.

To reproduce

1. Just import DataLoaderBuilder as follows and see the error:

from gdeep.data.datasets.base_dataloaders import DataLoaderBuilder

Versions

Linux-5.4.188+-x86_64-with-glibc2.31 Python 3.9.13 | packaged by conda-forge | (main, May 27 2022, 16:58:50) [GCC 10.3.0] NumPy 1.23.1 SciPy 1.8.1 Joblib 1.1.0 Scikit-learn 1.1.1 Giotto-tda 0.5.1

Additional context

I tried downgrading to pillow 6.1 but got the following:

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found
to be incompatible with the existing python installation in your environment:

Specifications:

  - pillow=6.1 -> python[version='2.7.*|3.5.*|3.6.*|3.4.*']
  - pillow=6.1 -> python[version='>=2.7,<2.8.0a0|>=3.6,<3.7.0a0|>=3.7,<3.8.0a0']

Your python: python=3.9

@shamsvahid2 The proper way to import (as specified by the __init__ files and in the examples) should be

from gdeep.data.datasets import DataLoaderBuilder

Do you get the same error in this case? Is there any particular reason why you where using your import lines?

[shamsvahid2]

Getting the same error in case using: from gdeep.data.datasets import DataLoaderBuilder. No particular reason, just a copy from this example.

[raphaelreinauer]

Could you please provide the versions of Pillow before downgrading (and other installed packages) you are running? The error message indicates that Pillow version 6.1 is incompatible with python version 3.9.

Furthermore, please post the entire error message you get when importing DataLoaderBuilder.

Sorry, I made a mistake and closed it wrongly. My problem remains still.

Regarding versions:

and entire error message is as follows:

The issue seems to be related to torchvision (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59659146/could-not-import-pillow-version-from-pil). The error should be fixed for torchvision>=0.5.0. Could you please upgrade your torchvision version and check if the error persists?

[shamsvahid2]

It is solved; thanks a-lot

[raphaelreinauer]

You're welcome :)
