Error message 'AttributeError: module 'PIL.Image' has no attribute 'Transpose'' when generating a word cloud

I am trying to generate a word cloud from a pandas column.

#text I want to create word cloud with

text = " ".join(review for review in df.Column.astype(str))

That runs fine. However when I run:

wordcloud = WordCloud(stopwords=stopwords).generate(text)

I receive the following error:

Reason

The worldcloud module doesn't specify the version of Pillow. In consideration of compatibility with worldcloud, you'd better stick with Pillow 8.4.0.

PIL.Image.Transpose is not available until Pillow 9.1.0.

Caveat

According to the traceback, it seems the Pillow installation on your machine is broken:

  • PIL\ImageFont.py indicated usage of Image.Transpose.ROTATE_90, which means this part of Pillow is from after 9.1.0
  • while PIL\Image.py raised exc Image.Transpose, indicating this part of source file is from Pillow < 9.1.0

Please, please, please. Don't mix use pip install and conda install. Remove your conda environment jupyterlab and re-create it. But this time, only install Python packages with one tool: pip or conda, not both of them.
