matplotlib compatibility

I ran into the following import error. So, what is the version of Pillow that I need to use?

Hi. How did you install Pillow? I would guess that this actually has nothing to do with matplotlib, but actually will just fail with from PIL import Image.

Could you

1. uninstall Pillow,
2. make sure that it is uninstalled by checking that you receive a ModuleNotFoundError when you try to import it in Python,
3. and then try to install it again? If things still don't work after that, could you copy and paste your full install output here?
