pillow install error
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Hi,
I have discovered that Pythonista’s pillow version is... 2.9.0 !
So I tried installing pillow 5.2.0 and 6.1.0 with pip-stash and got the following error:
TypeError("unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'OmniClass' and 'list'",) Failed to run setup.py Fall back to directory guessing ... Error: Cannot locate packages. Manual installation required.
I believe pillow is one of those blacklisted packages, not because of PyPI compatibility but because it is already bundled (and modified) within Pythonista.
In any case stash-pip should say it.
Pillow is very popular.
The reason you cannot install pillow is because pillow is written in mostly c/c++. You can only install pure python packages pythonista, since compiled code cannot run on iOS unless signed by the Pythonista developer.
