How can Pillow and MATLAB Runtime be use

In order to use the MATLAB runtime on macOS, the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH must be updated to point to the MATLAB Runtime.

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/Applications/MATLAB_R2017b.app/runtime/maci64:/Applications/MATLAB_R2017b.app/sys/os/maci64:/Applications/MATLAB_R2017b.app/bin/maci64

Then, to use Pillow, it must be installed:

$ pip3 install Pillow

When running the following code:

from PIL import Image, ImageTk

print('Hello World')

The following error is shown:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 1, in <module>
    from PIL import Image, ImageTk
  File "/Users/user/venv/py-test/lib/python3.6/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 58, in <module>
    from . import _imaging as core
ImportError: dlopen(/Users/user/venv/py-test/lib/python3.6/site-packages/PIL/_imaging.cpython-36m-darwin.so, 2): Library not loaded: @loader_path/.dylibs/libtiff.5.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/user/venv/py-test/lib/python3.6/site-packages/PIL/_imaging.cpython-36m-darwin.so
  Reason: Incompatible library version: _imaging.cpython-36m-darwin.so requires version 9.0.0 or later, but libtiff.5.dylib provides version 6.0.0

If run without the first export command, Pillow works fine, but I can't find out a way to get both to work at once. The MATLAB Runtime is exporting an older version of libtiff that Pillow (even though it's install via a binary wheel) is loading:

/Applications/MATLAB_R2017b.app/bin/maci64/libtiff.5.dylib

System configuration

• macOS 10.11.6
• Python 3.6.4 installed via Homebrew
• Pillow 5.0.0
• MATLAB Runtime 2017b
