Thank you! I was getting confused, I thought I wouldn't need Tkinter. I
thought Tkinter is yet another addon library besides PIL. Am I right or wrong?
So I actually need both? And this brings me back to my _other_ question
which is that as individuals go about downloading these addon libraries and
their doc, how do you organize this on your computer system? I can imagine
that in corporations there are guidelines for this, but I am wondering what you
all do? You could end up with addon libraries, doc and Readmes all over your
hard disk

Hi Alan -
I tried using ImageTk from the PIL library to display jpegs (and hopefully
any picture type) instead of just gif as you suggested below. I read online
that these these types of programs should
be run from executables not in the interpreter but it crashes and I can't
read the error. Here is the program:
import Image
import ImageTk
fhdl = Image.open("C:\Users\StarShip\PyProgs\SuitGirl.jpg")
ImageTk.PhotoImage(fhdl)
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
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise RuntimeError, 'Too early to create image'
RuntimeError: Too early to create image
HTH,
