I encountered the same error message as you did. This workaround worked for me. Try these steps in order...

  1. Install PyScreeze 0.1.7.

  2. Update PyScreeze to 0.1.8.

  3. Install PyAutoGui.

I hope this helps.

I also encountered the same error (albeit on Ubuntu 14.04). The missing module PIL is named Pillow (As said in this answer). So what I tried was (same in MacOS I think):

sudo pip3 install pillow

That translated to Windows would be:

pip.exe install pillow

Hope this helps you further.

Instead of letting PyautoGUI get all the packages for you.

Install all of them individually. Then, run the pip install --upgrade _packageName_

Then run pip install pyautogui.

Hope this helps.

I'm happy to report that this installation error has been fixed as of version 0.9.34. All you have to do is install or update PyAutoGUI from PyPI.

There is a possibility that on windows it is not rightly configured on windows path and therefore it cant find the module, to fix this try:

Control Panel \ System and Security \ System

then click: Environment Variables, and double click on path and append the directory you want to use.

full explanation on: https://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-10/add-windows-path-environment-variable/

you can also try:

Cmd:

python -m pip install < module >


git clone https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY

or

To append to PYTHONPATH:

IDE:

import sys

sys.path.append('< path >')
