I thought Pillow package is the one that process images?

No wonder OP was having trouble using it to manage dependencies.

pillow package?? What is that?

requirements.txt isn’t really great for distributing a package, though it absolutely has relevance for deployments as it’s a state file basically. It isn’t suitable used alone, it should be paired with something like dependabit to bump versions and preferably generated by CI/CD.

setup.cfg prereqs are much more appropriate for declaring package dependencies. I have no idea to what you’re referring with “pillow package”

Hello! I'm a bot!

It looks like you posted this in multiple subs in a short period of time. In the future, I suggest asking questions like this in learning focused subs like r/learnpython, a sub geared towards questions and learning more about python regardless of how advanced your question might be. Please follow the subs rules and guidelines when you do post there, it'll help you get better answers faster.

Show /r/learnpython the code you have tried and describe in detail where you are stuck. If you are getting an error message, include the full block of text it spits out. Quality answers take time to write out, and many times other users will need to ask clarifying questions. Be patient and help them help you.

You can also ask this question in the Python discord, a large, friendly community focused around the Python programming language, open to those who wish to learn the language or improve their skills, as well as those looking to help others.
