Encoder jpeg2k not available

Installed opendrop using pip installation method.

I've tried everything that I could think of to install jpeg2k (too many things to list, mostly making sure that all of the openjpeg stuff was installed)

What‘s your platform? OS version? PIL version?

[CaptainStabs]

Kali Linux, i386 2019.4, the python3 PIL version is 6.2.1, and the python2.7 PIL version is 5.4.1

[schmittner]

Hm, this definitely seems to be a problem of your PIL version. Maybe this helps:

To enable JPEG 2000 support, you need to build and install the OpenJPEG library, version 2.0.0 or higher, before building the Python Imaging Library.

Closing this as stale.
