Python 3.6 wheels #2318

Description

@mgedmin

What did you do?

pip install Pillow on a Windows machine with Python 3.6

What did you expect to happen?

get Pillow

What actually happened?

ValueError: zlib is required unless explicitly disabled using --disable-zlib, aborting, which is a bit misleading TBH since the Windows machine in question doesn't even have a C compiler on it.

What versions of Pillow and Python are you using?

Pillow 3.4.2
Python 3.6.0

    We don't have 3.6 wheels yet, likely at the release in a few days.

    Furthermore, that error is different in master/next release.

    This issue was me trying ineptly to sqeeze "please would you upload Python 3.6 wheels to PyPI" into your issue template. I'm glad to hear you've plans for that in the near future!

    Hmmm. Whenever a new Python is released, I'm assuming there's nothing practical or easy we can do for folks in this situation but tell them to wait for the next quarterly Pillow release. Unless we want to consider proactively "backfilling" the wheel supply…

    Unofficial Windows binaries for Python 3.7 are already available at http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pillow

    Well, those unofficial binaries are presumably available to be official if we ask @cgohlke.
