I am trying to open an img in a tkinter window, but the pillow library is giving my an error

I am trying to insert a photo in tkinter window python. I am using the library PIL (pillow) but it gives my an error

code:

from PIL import ImageTk, Image

my_img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(link))
my_label = Label(window, image=my_img)
my_label.place(x=x,y=y)

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\LitterHelper\main.py", line 86, in <module>
    i._img(window, 50, 150, "C:\\img\\Fries.gif")
  File "C:\Users\LitterHelper\main.py", line 5, in _img
    my_img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(f))
                                ^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: type object 'Image' has no attribute 'open'

I want the image to open in the tkinter window

Something else in your code is overwriting Image with the Image class inside the Image module. The result of doing:

from PIL import Image

print(type(Image))

should result in module being printed. I get your error if after doing the above import I do:

Image.Image.open('foo.bar')

which prints your error:

AttributeError: type object 'Image' has no attribute 'open'

Somewhere else in your code you might be doing:

from PIL.Image import Image

or maybe you're assigning something to Image.
