Viewed 419

Hello I am following this tutorial tutorial link. Everything is working fine but when i run bellow command it says pillow is not found but pillow already is installed.

docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec app python manage.py migrate --noinput

This is the error:

employee.Employee.image: (fields.E210) Cannot use ImageField because Pillow is not installed.
    HINT: Get Pillow at https://pypi.org/project/Pillow/ or run command "python -m pip install Pillow".
students.Student.image: (fields.E210) Cannot use ImageField because Pillow is not installed.
    HINT: Get Pillow at https://pypi.org/project/Pillow/ or run command "python -m pip install Pillow".

Then i again try to install using bellow command

docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec app python -m pip install Pillow

And it says pillow is Pillow is already installed

Requirement already satisfied: Pillow in /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages (6.2.1)

Here is my docker file

Please Help me .

Please try to use "pillow" starting from lowercase p.

Add this two lines under the FINAL section, just below the RUN apk update && apk add libpq

# install pillow dependencies
RUN apk add --no-cache jpeg-dev zlib-dev
RUN apk add --no-cache --virtual .build-deps build-base linux-headers

This is happening because the BUILDER removes the dependencies required for Pillow after creating the image. In the FINAL image, Pillow is available, but its required dependencies are not.

I was stuck with the same problem. Adding these dependencies to the FINAL section resolved this issue

# install pillow dependencies
RUN apk add --no-cache jpeg-dev zlib-dev \
    fribidi-dev \
    harfbuzz-dev \
    lcms2-dev \
    openjpeg-dev \
    tcl-dev \
    tiff-dev \
    tk-dev
