Error with Pillow. Can we build the package locally? #54

Closed hamoid closed 1 year ago

hamoid commented 1 year ago

Hi, when I run

$ pip install backgroundremover

it fails because Pillow 8.1.1 fails to install on my system with this error

if pd is not None and pd.key == self.egg_name.lower():
  AttributeError: 'PathDistribution' object has no attribute 'key'

If I do

$ pip install pillow

I get version 9.4.0 fine.

Could I update that dependency in requirements.txt and build the package locally? Or version 8.1.1 is required? I don't know how to build it, not experienced with Python. Thank you :)

Update: actually I tried https://github.com/danielgatis/rembg and it worked for me. I wonder how do both projects differ...
