what is wrong with the kivy import?

Question

I get an error when trying to run a kivy app:

This is my code:

import kivy

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.label import Label

class MyApp(App):

    def build(self):
        return Label(text='Hello world')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    MyApp().run()

This is the error:

Answer 1

Your error is due to the following:

pil - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PIL'

what python --version are you using ?

Try installing pip install Pillow

Note: PIL is depreciated, Pillow is newer one.
