Installation issues on Windows/Python 3.7

What did you do?

Admin CMD console > python -m pip install pillow --trusted-host='pypi.python.org'

What versions of Pillow and Python are you using?

Python Version 3.7, latest pip
Latest Pillow version (4.3?)
Windows 10 Pro

I think the most relevant part from this error is this part:

The headers or library files could not be found for zlib,
 a required dependency when compiling Pillow from source.

and yet typing import zlib into the python console produces no errors.
Is it b/c the Appdata dir is c:\users\marcus family\appdata\local\ half the time and the other times it's C:\Users\MARCUS~1\AppData\Local\?

Here is the full output from python -m pip install pillow --trusted-host='pypi.python.org"

Here is the full output from this command

PS sorry about the code formatting — It was that or no spoiler

We don't yet officially support unreleased Python 3.7.

Because pip can't find a binary wheel for 3.7, it's downloading the source and trying to build it, which on Windows is a pain.

I suggest downloading the wheel for Python 3.6 and pip installing from that.

The same thing came up for Python 3.6: #2318 and a few times on Stack Overflow, and will come up again.

Python 3.7 is still in alpha but due out on 2018-06-15:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0537/#schedule

We'll most likely have wheels for Python 3.7 in our 2018-07-01 release (probably Pillow ~~4.6.0~~ 5.2.0).

Before that, should we print out a warning for Python 3.7 on Windows that it's not yet supported and suggesting to use the 3.6 wheel? (And when 3.7 is supported, ++ each version.)

Before that, should we print out a warning for Python 3.7 on Windows that it's not yet supported and suggesting to use the 3.6 wheel?

That would be helpful. I'll try the 3.6 wheel later today.

Manually downloading the all variants of the 3.6 wheel have all rendered the same error message:
Pillow-4.3.0-[version specifc info].whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

I go back to Python 3.6, I just like the bleeding edge (;

#2855 is a PR to warn 3.7 isn't yet supported on Windows.

By the way, you may be able to install the 3.6 wheel on 3.7 by renaming it from Pillow-4.3.0-cp36-cp36m-win32.whl to something like Pillow-4.3.0-cp37-cp37m-win32.whl (https://stackoverflow.com/a/28111899/724176).

I'm getting the same error for Pillow version 4.3.0 and python version 3.6.3 with final error of

Command "/usr/bin/python3 -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-yuztoa48/Pillow/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-3lhc0a5r-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-yuztoa48/Pillow/

@cfleveratto That doesn't look like Windows or Python 3.7. Please open a new issue with more detail.
