Error In Saving Matplotlib Plot To Tiff

I can successfully save a plot using matplotlib in .png format. However, when I try to save it in .tiff format, I get this error: plt.savefig(base_dir+'Plots'+os.sep+path+os.sep+ti

Solution 1:

rolling back to Pillow 2.9.0 and saving to .tiff works. See here: https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/issues/1524
