Downgraded to 5.4.1 for now.

Seems that

PIL.Image.VERSION

has been changed to

PIL.Image.__version__

Update: Suggested a patch upstream: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/8495

PysolFC in Arch Community is out of date (and it's flagged out of date). The current version of PySolFC is 2.6.3. This version plays fine with the newest python-pillow.

The workaround for those waiting for an update to the Community version is to download PySolFC from github (version 2.6.3). It can be run with a simple: ./pysol.py
