When trying to open a webp image with PIL as follows:
my_res = requests.get(media_url) # returns webp image
im = Image.open(BytesIO(my_res.content)).convert('RGB')
i get the following error:
/home/pigu/twitter-tools/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PIL/Image.py:3185: UserWarning: image file could not be identified because WEBP support not installed
executing the following two lines returns False:
from PIL import features
print (features.check_module('webp'))
how can i fix this?
