I'd check the Pillow home page, the packages are not always as well
aligned with versions as they should be.

Python 3.6 code should work fine on 3.8.
It's only the other way round you'd potentially have issues.

Unless 3.8 breaks importing rules from 3.6.. I don't know I only
upgraded to 3.7 last month, I'm a long way from even
considering 3.8... I think...

I tell a lie, Mint 20 appears to install 3.8 and I upgraded
Mint to v20 last week to try and fix a long term Cinnamon issue.
So I've been inadvertently running 3.8 for a week! :-)
