Problem solved...I tried James' suggestion (explicitly instantiating
the root Tk window, and then running the mainloop() as suggested), but
it produced the same result i.e. no photo. Ugghhhh...
I then looked REALLY closely at my code and noticed that my __init__
function was actually ___init___ (3 underscores instead of 2). Thus, a
Frame object was being built, but the __init__ function wasn't getting
run. So no image was ever getting added. Silly underscores...or,
silly Python newbie :-) It now works under both Linux and Windoze
just fine.
I would have thought that having no __init__ function would flag an
error, but I guess this isn't necessary. I thought about grabbing PDB
to debug, and I bet this would have shown the error immediately (i.e.,
it would never have called the function). Being a newbie is such a
joy...
Thanks for the help,
John
