AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'write'

I tried the library in both linux vm and windows 11 with the same results

import qrcode img = qrcode.make("https://www.youtube.com/") img.save("youtubeQR.jpg")

I had to install pip install qrcode[pil], and it worked. Looks like it should work without it, so the issue is valid.

This should work now without pil (although it'll be a png file even if you called it "something.jpg") in the version I just released.

Previously the pure png factory needed :

with open("youtubeQR.jpg", "wb") as f:
    img.save(f)
