Require Pillow >= 9.4.0 to avoid AttributeError when loading image dataset
State: closed | Author: albertvillanova (MEMBER)

Require Pillow >= 9.4.0 to avoid AttributeError when loading image dataset.

The `PIL.Image.ExifTags` that we use in our code was implemented in Pillow-9.4.0: https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/commit/24a5405a9f7ea22f28f9c98b3e407292ea5ee1d3

The bug #6881 was introduced in datasets-2.19.0 by this PR:
- #6739

Fix #6881.

Comments: The docs for this PR live [here](https://moon-ci-docs.huggingface.co/docs/datasets/pr_6883). All of your documentation changes will be reflected on that endpoint. The docs are available until 30 days after the last update.

Do you think this is worth making a patch release for?

maybe not super important since it was not reported by users, this can be included in the next release

I observed the same AttributeError with Pillow == 10.3.0, while 9.4.0 works for me.

What's the error you're getting @Eric2i ?

On my side on 10.3.0 I could run this without errors:

```python
import PIL.Image
PIL.Image.ExifTags.Base.Orientation is not None  # True
```

Sorry, false alarm. I double-checked that 10.3.0 is also good on my side. Thanks for your sample codes.

I just faced the same bug after installing recent versions of Huggingface and datasets in a new environment. I solved it by uninstalling the recent version of Pillow and sticking to 9.4.0.
`pip uninstall Pillow`
`pip install Pillow==9.4.0`

Thanks! That error was annoying and this fixed it for me.

Just to say I also bumped into this and this issue was very helpful for finding the right pillow version. Thanks.
