Hey @user128285, this does solve the issue but then I get an error, 'No module named PIL', how do I solve that? — Sabyasachi Patra, Apr 21 '16 at 05:38

Depends on how exactly you defined your path (or is that just bad formatting?). You have to escape the backslashes and spaces: path='C:\\Users\\Sabyasachi\\Pictures\\Formal\ Reception.jpg'

Or use a raw string path=r'C:\Users\Sabyasachi\Pictures\Formal Reception.jpg'

forward slashes is also an option. `path=C:/Users/...` – Bryan Oakley Apr 20 '16 at 21:09

@SabyasachiPatra; you have to install it. Google can help you there, because it depends if you're in venv (the une pip) or just basic install as described here: http://wp.stolaf.edu/it/installing-pil-pillow-cimage-on-windows-and-mac/. – ljetibo Apr 21 '16 at 11:23
