cannot import name '_imagingft'

[dg8yho]

Fresh installed Allsky on a RPi 4
almost everything works fine, but when i activate the overlay module i got the following error in allsky.log:
ERROR: Module allsky_overlay.py failed on line 209 - cannot import name '_imagingft' from 'PIL' (/home/wesco/allsky/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/PIL/init.py)
and no text or images are showen in live picture

when i delete all text from the overlayeditor and save the overlay, the error is no longer logged and the final image shows up correct.
Even when i add only a single Textfield with "NEW FIELD" the error occurs. Tryed all available fonts, no difference.

do you have anny suggestions?

Can you run the following command and paste the output, looks like the wrong version may be installed

cat /home/wesco/allsky/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/PIL/_version.py

Thanks

Hi Alex
thanks for reply

cat /home/wesco/allsky/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/PIL/_version.py

Master version for Pillow

from future import annotations

version = "11.0.0"

fix it by installing branch v2024.12.06 on 64Bit RaspiOS instead of 32Bit
