+python3-pillow-opt (Python Imaging Library, new version)
+
+The Python Imaging Library (PIL) adds image processing capabilities
+to your Python environment. This library provides extensive file
+format support, an efficient internal representation, and powerful
+image processing capabilities.
+
+This version of pillow installs to /opt/python3.9/, so it won't
+conflict with Slackware's older python-pillow package. This is the
+newest version of pillow that will work with Python 3.9 (please don't
+ask for an update to >= 12.0.0).
+
+Any SlackBuild for a python3 program that requires this version of
+pillow will have to modify the python script itself. Add the following
+code:
+
+import sys
+sys.path.insert(0,'/opt/python3.9/site-packages')
+
+If there's already an 'import sys', just put the insert() line right
+after it.
+
+Note: the API documentation is not installed as part of the package.
