to register the image with Tk, you must wrap it in an
ImageTk.PhotoImage object.

    from Tkinter import *
    import Image, ImageDraw, ImageTk
    root = Tk()
    img = Image.new("RGB", (100, 100))
    draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)
    draw.rectangle((10,10,90,90), outline=(255,255,255))
    del draw

    label.pack()
    root.mainloop()
