For FITS file reading, an alternative to pCFITSIO is PyFITS (http://www.stsci.edu/resources/software_hardware/pyfits). I guess both need numarray... gifImage = Tkinter.PhotoImage(file="file.gif") ima = yourCanvas.create_image(xpos,ypos,image=gifImage) is the quickest way to display gifs. My version of Tkinter (1.177) does not directly support jpg, but with PIL that should be possible. Ugly but quick solution (for Linux): produce gifs from FITS/jpg files with os.system("convert") and feed them to Tkinter. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
