Maybe this will help you.

# SimpleImage ver 1.0
# by M.E.Farmer Jr. 2003
# Utilizes the new wx namespace
# usage: python SimpleImage.py image.jpg
import sys
import wx 
try:
    frame = wx.Frame(None, -1, "SimpleImage", size=(-1,-1),pos=(1,1))
    wx.InitAllImageHandlers()
    # Converts the image into a wx compatible bitmap 
    pix = wx.Image(sys.argv[1], wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ANY).ConvertToBitmap()
    # Now wx.StaticBitmap() can be used to place that bitmap onto the parent 
    st = wx.StaticBitmap(frame, -1, pix, pos=(1,1),
                         size=wx.Size(pix.GetWidth(),pix.GetHeight()))
    frame.SetClientSize(wx.Size(pix.GetWidth(),pix.GetHeight()))
    app = wx.PySimpleApp()
    frame.Show()
    app.MainLoop()
