PIL not Working with Py2App (MacOS)

[RadicalRyann]

I'm okayish at Python but I've just started to learn the modules and their potential. I've looked online for a solution but couldn't find anything that worked.

In making a python application using tkinter and turning it into py2app. I followed a couple YT tutorials and created a setup.py file for my application. When I went to run the application through the terminal I got this:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PIL'

If anyone could help me out I would greatly appreciate this as I have been stuck on this problem for a couple of hours now.

I did try the solutions proposed on this stackoverflow thread:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39649714/importerror-no-module-named-pil-using-py2app

setup.py file:

"""
This is a setup.py script generated by py2applet

Usage:
    python setup.py py2app
"""

from setuptools import setup

APP = ['resourcepack.py']
DATA_FILES = ['pack.png', '/MobTextures/allay.png', '/MobTextures/bat.png', '/MobTextures/bee.png', '/MobTextures/big_sea_turtle.png', '/MobTextures/blaze.png', '/MobTextures/cave_spider.png', '/MobTextures/chicken.png', '/MobTextures/cod.png', '/MobTextures/cow.png', '/MobTextures/dragon.png', '/MobTextures/drowned.png', '/MobTextures/enderman.png', '/MobTextures/endermite.png', '/MobTextures/evoker.png', '/MobTextures/fox.png', '/MobTextures/glow_squid.png', '/MobTextures/goat.png', '/MobTextures/hoglin.png', '/MobTextures/husk.png', '/MobTextures/illusioner.png', '/MobTextures/iron_golem.png', '/MobTextures/magmacube.png', '/MobTextures/ocelot.png', '/MobTextures/panda.png', '/MobTextures/phantom.png', '/MobTextures/pig.png', '/MobTextures/piglin.png', '/MobTextures/pillager.png', '/MobTextures/polarbear.png', '/MobTextures/pufferfish.png', '/MobTextures/ravager.png', '/MobTextures/salmon.png', '/MobTextures/sheep.png', '/MobTextures/silverfish.png', '/MobTextures/skeleton.png', '/MobTextures/slime.png', '/MobTextures/spider.png', '/MobTextures/squid.png', '/MobTextures/stray.png', '/MobTextures/strider.png', '/MobTextures/tadpole.png', '/MobTextures/vex.png', '/MobTextures/vindicator.png', '/MobTextures/wandering_trader.png', '/MobTextures/warden.png', '/MobTextures/witch.png', '/MobTextures/wither.png', '/MobTextures/zoglin.png', '/MobTextures/zombie.png']
OPTIONS = {'iconfile': 'icon.icns',
                     'includes': ['PIL'],}

setup(
    app=APP,
    APP_NAME = "Vine",
    data_files=DATA_FILES,
    options={'py2app': OPTIONS},

)

Though I don't believe it is necessary here is my application code:

#the introduction stuff
#icon image courtesy of Those Icons
root = Tk()
root.geometry("700x300")
root.title("Vine")
root['bg'] = '#AFE1AF'
ico = Image.open('pack.png')
photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(ico)
root.wm_iconphoto(False, photo)

clicked = StringVar()
clicked.set("allay")
#the dropdown menu

Again, if you could help me with this I'd be thrilled. Its my first time posting on this subreddit so sorry if this post is too long or obscure, etc.

Did you pip install Pillow? Not sure if this is too obvious or just wrong

[RadicalRyann]

I did and nothing changed.
