Thanks. I assumed this was a well known problem that someone had
solved, but I couldn't find the solution.

>Pictures in Python are a little complicated. You need to use "img2py.py",
which is a script included with wxPython. I found it in the tools
sub-sub-sub folded in the wxPython install:
C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-ansi\wx\toolsSee also wxPython API Documentation — wxPython Phoenix 4.2.2 documentation
It's pretty slick. Hope that helps!
