Exception Value: No module named 'PIL' – in Django – Nginx

Django Version: 3.1.6
Python Version: 3.6.9

I’m trying to use the ImageField in my django admin page to upload an image. When I try to upload it from my NGinx/Gunicorn server I get this error. However when I run it from port 8000 using manage.py runserver 0:8000 from the SAME server, it works. I don’t understand this error. I have Pillow installed.

Environment:

    Pil is not available as of now in django.
    Use its successor

    pip install pillow

    As you said you have pillow installed then the problem must be with pip , upgrade the pip and then try out if it works .

    pip install –upgrade pip

    the version of pip does dictate how packages are unzipped, which ultimately determines whether or not modules are loaded properly.
    Then import image and hope that works.

    Django does not came with Pillow preinstalled.
    To install, simply run:

    python3 -m pip install --upgrade Pillow

    to install or upgrade.

    Try to use these Command :-

    1). If you’re using Unix then run .

    python -m pip install -U pip

    2). This Command is for install or Upgrade setup tools. (Setup tools are install by default but you should upgrade it)

    pip install setuptools

    3). AND now, uninstall and reinstall the Pillow.

    For Uninstall

    pip uninstall pillow

    Now install

    pip install pillow
