Hello friends Have a problem as explained below. Using PLI 8.3 working really well on DM 8000. So installed an plugin succesfully, but is declaring an error " No module named PIL".
I installed succesfully system plugin named " Pipservicerelation" but always same error.
Please some help is reallly appreciated
Best regards

Always a pain with 3rd-party ipk's, dependencies are never correctly defined.

 

First, make sure the plugin you are trying to install is python 3 compatible. Most ipk's floating around on the internet, and working on OpenPLI versions before 9.0, aren't. If not compatible, don't bother any further, find one that is. Afaik this plugin is an antique.

 

If you have found one that is compatible, and still have this error, you might need to install "python3-pillow" manually.

Openpli 8.3?

Then of course the version for python2 is required, but it should be on the feed.

Or using one line in Linux Shell :-P

[ -e "/usr/bin/python3" ] && PY="python3" || PY="python"; opkg update; opkg install "${PY}-pillow"

Pli Version 8.3 ;-)
->python2

Yes @rantaplan, it can still be done, as you mentioned, that is. that instead of the "python" command, the "python2" command will be invoked directly .

 

However, I assumed that Python 1.x practically no longer exists. I also assumed that /usr/bin/python is always just a symbolic link link to the existing Python interpreter in the system, for reasons of backward compatibility.

 

So it doesn't matter whether PY2 or PY3 is present in the system, it is enough if you simply use the command "python" to invoke the Python interpreter - this is usually a link to the /usr/bin/python3 file or to the /usr/bin/python2 file - according to of what is installed in the system.

 

It can be said that for the last ten years, developers have only been working with PY2 and PY3. So, in the current times, it's good method to detect the presence of PY3. And if it is not found there, then logically, the only other thing that can exist there is PY2.

There could still be a problem if someone uses both PY versions in a Linux set-top box, for testing and debugging purposes - for example, some developer. In that case, it may be necessary to install both versions of the "pillow" package (which also includes the PIL module for editing images). Enigma2 usually only works under one of these two PY versions. Also... for example... a user's python script can then run under a different version of PY than Enigma2 itself. That is, if the python script is not programmed for both versions of PY as "compatible".

 

This means the need to install the packages:  python-pillow (for PY2) and also python3-pillow (for PY3).

So I checked the plugin; is python 3 compatible. Question now is how should I install "python3-pillow" manually?? Should I use DCC telnet command? If so please help me with correct command line.
Many thanks

Either on the commandline

opkg update && opkg install python3-pillow

or on the box by installing the software manager plugin, then start it, and install the plugin from advanced, package management.

I'm really starting to despair here...

python2 image on the box and accordingly he needs the plugin in python2 and of course also pillow in python2...

But it was really my last attempt.

[WanWizard]

For me it is as confusing as for you, it is not clear about with version we are talking, the original post isn't clear, and subsequent posts make it worse...

Thanf for support

Tried to install python3-pillow trough telnet. No success. Answer was:

"Couldn't find anything to satisfy 'python3-pillow"

Installed "software manager plugin" but into advanced, package management.there is no item named python3-pillow available.

So will install PLI 9.0 and will see.

best regards

As said before by several people, if you use 8.3, you need to install "python-pillow".
