PyAutoGUI not working with Python 3.8? - TrkDZ - Mar 13, 2020

Hey, I tried to install multiple packages and most of them return errors. Did a bit of troubleshooting and saw that it might be because of the Python version. Amirite?

EDIT: Managed to fix it by doing

Code 
python -m pip install -U --force-reinstall pip

and then installing Pillow

Thanks for the help!

Which errors there are...?

Taken right from PyAutoGUI documentation page:

Quote:PyAutoGUI supports Python 2 and 3.

so its compatible with all versions, so its probably another issue.

Post what errors your getting and we might be able to help a little better

Looks like the Pillow module might be a dependency of pyautoGUI and is either missing or needs updating before pyautoGUI can be installed.

Try running 'pip install Pillow'

Yeah, I did it already. This is messed up right ? Pillow is updated to the lastest version available and I still get this error:

Code 
The headers or library files could not be found for zlib,

    a required dependency when compiling Pillow from source.

    Please see the install instructions at:

Pip remove zlib
Pip install zlib

Pip install your package

Just install Anaconda.
Python is tricky in this matter.
