Installing Pillow on Windows with 32-bit Python

I'm getting this error while running pip install pillow.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

  Please see the install instructions at:

  [end of output]

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
ERROR: Failed building wheel for pillow
Failed to build pillow
ERROR: Could not build wheels for pillow, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects
WARNING: There was an error checking the latest version of pip.

I upgraded pip. Now I'm running pip 23.3 from C:\Python39-32\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.9).

It looks like you have a 32-bit version of Python installed. From Pillow 10, precompiled 32-bit wheels are no longer provided:

https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/releasenotes/10.0.0.html#bit-wheels

pip is therefore trying to build from source, and you don't have the necessary dependencies.
