show() is meant for very casual "manual" viewing  of images, really for 
debugging. It just invokes some image display or other, depending on which 
platform it's running on.

PIL itself has no other UI stuff built in, as its focus is an image 
manipulation library. You need a UI library of some kind. You might try 
starting with TkInter. Here are a few elementary examples of displaying images 
using TkInter:
