FanArt won't work because PIL / Pillow won't load

For some reasons I can’t get PIL or pillow to get detected on my new Plexconnect install. Everytimes it starts log file shows “PILBackgrounds: Is PIL installed? False”.

Feb 28,2021 20:51:46 PlexConnect: Version: 0.7.2-021120
Feb 28,2021 20:51:46 PlexConnect: Python: 2.7.16 (default, Jun 5 2020, 22:59:21)

It won’t work as a daemon either.

Issuing terminal command “sudo easy_install pip” seems to go throught.
Issuing terminal command " sudo pip install pil", I get this:

DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 2.7 in January 2021. More details about Python 2 support in pip can be found at Release process - pip documentation v21.1.dev0 pip 21.0 will remove support for this functionality.

WARNING: The directory ‘/Users/XXXXXX/Library/Caches/pip’ or its parent directory is not owned or is not writable by the current user. The cache has been disabled. Check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo’s -H flag.

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pil (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pil

Issuing command “sudo pip install Pillow”
I get this:
Requirement already satisfied: Pillow in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages (6.2.2)

Update:
Installed Python 2.7.12 as suggestion on GitHub PlexConnect.
Starting manually show PIL installed TRUE (and Python 2.7.12 running)
But using daemon it loads Python 2.7.16 and PIL won’t get detected (FALSE).

Can anyone point me in a direction. Don’t really know what to do

Thanks

Claude

Where are you installing PlexConnect ? Linux, Windows, Mac OS, QNAP, Synology, other ?

Yeah, sorry kind of an important info.
Installation is being made on OSX Catalina 10.15

Unfortunately I have no OSX skill. Let’s hope someone else can help you. Did you ask for help in a OSX forum ?

I did not.do you have one specific in mind? I think it could be related to the shell PATH, but I’m sure.
Thanks for your help.
