Not to beat a dead horse, but yet another option is to use os.startfile(fname), which will launch it in your computer's default image viewer. Maybe find a program that will limit itself to a single instance, and then you won't wind up with 20 windows open if you're showing a lot of images.
But still, wxpython is a really powerful and useful tool once you get past the early part of its learning curve.
