Facing same issue plz help me

I have already installed the pillow package, but my program is still showing me the error for importing  PIL module.

Hello,

Have you try the solution @MD(given below)? In case if that didn't work read this.
and setup the interpreter for the project to be python3.8 with Pillow installed

Hi, @There,

On some installs of PIL, You must do

import Image

instead of import PIL (PIL is in fact not always imported this way). Since import Image works for you, this means that you have in fact installed PIL.

Thank you Gitika, it's ok.

Hi@Nishant,

You can use PILLOW instead of PIL.

$ pip3 install PILLOW
