I did that....
But it still didn't seem to work....
Then I remembered that 2.41 is /usr/local/bin/python2.4 ... The default
is v2.3...
So it was mostly user error....
But I don't think that PIL will help at this point... I'm attempting to
add a splashscreen to an cross-platform (Windows / Mac) application...
PIL appears to use Tkinter?
Or at least the code that I found as a starting point is using Tkinter /
PIL....
Since my application is using PythonCard / wxPython, I don't think that
it would be a great idea to use anything that involves Tkinter.....
Just as a lark... Here's the code that I was thinking of modeling
from...
"""SplashScreen
A splash screen that displays an image for a predefined
number of milliseconds.
usage
tk = Tk()
s = SplashScreen(tk, timeout=2000, image="python.jpg")
mainloop()
The main window will be shown after the timeout.
requires: PIL imaging library
