How can I prevent packages installing Pillow? #88

Hi, even though I have pillow-simd installed, packages that requires Pillow install it as a dependency everytime I install a new package, or upgrading an existing one. Is there a trick to prevent this like installing pillow-simd as just pillow or something? Thanks

We are using #egg=pillow postfix in requirements.txt like this:

-e git+https://github.com/uploadcare/pillow-simd.git@simd/6.0.x#egg=pillow
