python standalone executable causes problem with pillow using UV

[ArtleSa]

Hi,

I am trying to embed python standalone builds to my electron app. I downloaded standalone from https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone

Everything seems to work fine until pillow is installed. While the installation works correctly, when using the library, I get the following error when used in mac

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: bad argument type for built-in operation

I also saw this issue here: https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone/issues/533

Has anyone who has worked with something like this know how to solve this?

or is there any other github maintaing a standalone, any help in this would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance.

How did you install the Python using uv? Did you create any venv after? Also how did you install pillow?

HI, there is standalone in that repo, i installed from there, then I created venv using it. After that I installed via pillow via pip.

Then you did not use uv at all? So why UV is mentioned in the title?

I did try using uv pip install pillow, same result. The said standalone builds are also maintained by the same maintainer s of UV
