Before you convert to an ImageTk, you need to first create a toplevel
window:
import Image
import ImageTk
import Tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
#put your code here
And that should work. You'll still have to add the widgets and what-nots so
you can present your image, but in order to create an image with ImageTk,
you need to have a toplevel window created.
That's what this is telling you
