Odd -- probably some version issue. Can you provide any additional information on your setup?

[Shyam Sudhakaran]

@rmrfslashbin you need to install Pillow, check this out for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48923151/importing-image-to-python-cannot-import-name-imread?noredirect=1&lq=1

@shyamsn97 Thank you. I thought conda should take care of this -- feel free to let me know and reopen if I missed a dependency in the setup file.

@rmrfslashbin I also faced the same problem. However, I resolved.
I also think that is version issues. So, I resolved by installing scipy version 1.2.0.
pip install scipy==1.2

Thanks, I have solved this question by above method(my enviroment is anaconda+python3.6)
Notice: python3.8 is not support to install scipy1.2.1
