[Image-SIG] that's enough

[Alec Bennett]

Not to beat a dead horse, but yet another option is to use
os.startfile(fname), which will launch it in your computer's default image
viewer. Maybe find a program that will limit itself to a single instance,
and then you won't wind up with 20 windows open if you're showing a lot of
images.

But still, wxpython is a really powerful and useful tool once you get past
the early part of its learning curve.
