My problem is pretty much identical to here except none of the solutions there are working for me. I'm assuming the issue there was for python 2.7 because my issue is specific to python 3.5.1

TL;DR: The following commands all do not work, details below

  • sudo apt-get install libtiff5
  • sudo dpkg -i libtiff5_4.0.3-7ubuntu0.3_amd64.deb
  • python setup.py install (pylibtiff, a libtiff wrapper)
  • conda install libtiff
  • pip install libtiff

What I've tried:

I'm not sure what the %r to PATH environment variable means. However, I did reboot. No effect.

Next I tried pylibtiff:

  • Your title says python 3.4 - but your session output says Python 3.5.1 |Anaconda 2.4.1 - maybe you need to use conda install? – steeldriver Feb 11 '16 at 22:37
  • Same issue as one of the others, I'll update my question with what I get with conda – Frikster Feb 11 '16 at 22:42
  • Ah yes, I didn't notice that. I'm using Python 3.4 as my interpreter in Pyharm. But apparently I have python 3.5 in my terminal. Not sure what I should make of that yet. – Frikster Feb 11 '16 at 22:48
  • I searched a bunch on Launchpad and on Google in general but I couldn't find any TIFF libraries compatible with Python 3. – David Foerster Feb 11 '16 at 23:39
  • Which I guess would explain why we've always used Python 2.7 when the need arose. Sighs, naturally some packages I'm using require Python 3.4. So I'm between a rock and a hard place. Fortunately, I have the option to abandon tiffs for now. There are other formats. – Frikster Feb 16 '16 at 03:41
