editPython library lost, or not, in Big Sur
editI recently updated MacOS to Big Sur. In some of my Python programs that contain the line
import Image
I now get
ImportError: No module named Image
... but at least one program is not affected. The 'surviving' program is ~/bin/dragon
, while all those that fail are ~/some_other_directory/*.py
; perhaps this is coincidence, perhaps not. (Each begins with #!/usr/local/bin/python
.)
Any idea what's going on? —Tamfang (talk) 02:11, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- Tamfang, what python version is used by your programs, and what python version is invoked by that path? Is there a
/usr/local/bin/python3
or anywhere else on the system? Is your python interpreter installed byhomebrew
or is it a stock system? Elizium23 (talk) 08:35, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- I believe my python (2.7) is "stock", but the Image library isn't (I do not recall how I installed it). —Tamfang (talk) 16:09, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
/usr/bin/python3
exists but trying to run it givesxcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
—Tamfang (talk) 16:09, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- What do you see when you issue the command
ls -l /usr/local/bin/python
? Is it a link to another executable? --Lambiam 11:47, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- link to
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python

Image
isn't a module in PyPi or builtins, so it came from somewhere else. from the naming convention, it's likely a class from a module, so maybe this is from PIL or some library that handles images? In your/~/bin/dragon
, make itprint(Image.__file__)
- if that fails, use
.__dir__
instead.~/bin
might have an Image.py that's being imported instead. - As for your python3 path problem, I'm sure this SE answer can solve it; this has nothing to do with python probably, just your terminal. WhoAteMyButter (📨│📝) 07:00, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
- The command you suggest results in
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PIL/Image.pyc
. (I first ran some old code that hadimport PIL
; when that failed I looked atdragon
and copied overimport Image
.) — I apparently acquired PIL/Image in 2009. Will have a look at its README when time allows. —Tamfang (talk) 01:56, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
