The PIL show() method looks for the default viewer. How do I change this to a different viewer (of my choice)?

[Paul St George]

I am using the Python Imaging Library (PIL), Python 2 and Raspberry Pi 3 B+

My code is simply:

     from PIL import Image

     im = Image.open(‘somepic.jpg’)
     im.show() # display image


But the show() method looks for the default viewer (probably xv). How do 
I change this (in the code, or in some settings) to a different viewer 
(of my choice)?

Thanks,
Paul
