Question

I’m using Python Imaging Library and Tkinter.
I am currently trying to display an image as a label, and I’m getting the above exception.
My 35 line source:

from PIL import Image, ImageTk
from Tkinter import Tk, Frame, Label

class Example(Frame):

    def __init__(self, parent):
        Frame.__init__(self, parent)

        self.parent = parent
        self.initUI()

    def initUI(self):
        self.parent.title("Label")

        self.img = Image.open("diesl.jpg")
        diesl = ImageTk.PhotoImage(self.img)
        label = Label(self, image=diesl)

        label.image = diesl
        label.pack()

        self.pack()

    def setGeometry(self):
        w, h = self.img.size
        self.parent.geometry(("%dx%d+300+300") % (w, h))

def main():
    root = Tk()
    ex = Example(root)
    ex.setGeometry()
    root.mainloop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Actually, you are right in your comment: Notepad++ seems to launch the files from its own directory.

You can find the solution to your problem here: http://damienlearnsperl.blogspot.com/2009/01/launch-your-perl-script-from-notepad.html (check Lee’s comment) if you still intend to use Notepad ++
