Anaconda python, PIL and imagingtk

Although this is a reasonably well documented problem, I can't find a solution.

I cannot import PIL and ImageTK.

Minimal example: 

import Tkinter as tk
from PIL import Image, ImageTk

root = tk.Tk()
image = Image.open('live.ppm')
photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)

This produces the error:

File "C:\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\PIL\ImageTk.py", line 181, in paste
    import _imagingtk
ImportError: No module named _imagingtk

I have tried:

conda install pillow
conda remove PIL

But no luck.

Thanks for bringing this up. The ImageTk module is an extra extension that is not part of the default installation of Pillow.

This issue is long-standing: https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues/150

We (Continuum) will investigate adding this module to our build process.

After uninstalling pillow and PIL:

pip install image

Fixed this issue.
