I am not sure what you want to achieve; in case you want the user to be
able to use the keyboard insted of the mouse, you can simply use
bindings to Key events instead of <Button-1>, like <Control-n> for a
"next image"-callback and <Control-p> for "previous image". You can even
apply such bindings to the toplevel window as a whole, so the users
will not have to set the keyboard focus to a particular widget.
If you want to control the window from a different application, you can
try to add a signal handler using Python's signal module (however,
this may not be supported on all platforms).
Or do you want the application to automagically switch the image after
a given amount of time? Then you can use a simple after() loop, like:
def switch_image():
ImageViewer.change_image()
root.after(5000, switch_image)
root.after(5000, switch_image)
In this example the change_image() method of course needs to take care
that after displaying the last image from the images list it will start
over again with the first one.
I hope this helps
Michael
