Thank you. For the advice, and for the new word 'monkeypatch'.

This is very helpful indeed, thank you. Awe-inspiring.
It occurred to me that I could edit the PIL/ImageShow.py, replacing
‘xv’ (in five places) with the utility of my choice and using
‘executable’ as the command.
Or, is this just not done?
It becomes a maintenance problem.
Alternatively you could:
Just write your own show function which accepts an Image and displays
it with your program of choice. You might need to write some
equivalent code which saves the Image to a file first, and removes it
afterwards.
You could copy the show() code into a function of your own (i.e. in
your own codebase) modify that to suit, then monkeypatch the class:
Image.show = your_personal_show_function
when your programme starts. That way the code changes are not in the
PIL code.
