I coded up a simple GUI in wxPython which involved some basic image
inspection tasks. For displaying the image and inspecting pixel values
etc I used Matt Kimball's image_view module which is written in
wxPython.

This might be a useful starting point if you want to use wxPython. It
certainly saved me a lot of grunt work.
