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)
Tested in interpreter and get the following error. I included Image.show() to
be
sure pic could be displayed and it did come up in HP Photo Viewer just like the
gif file did
and I tried the PhotoImage() after I got the cursor back
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84297, Aug 24 2010, 18:46:32) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on

>>> import Image
>>> import ImageTk
>>> fhdl = Image.open("C:\Users\StarShip\PyProgs\SuitGirl.jpg")
>>> fhdl.show()
>>> ImageTk.PhotoImage(fhdl)
