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

If your favourite viewer is 'ImageMagick’, then the name is
'ImageMagick'. However, I doubt this is the case, since ImageMagick
isn't a viewer, it is a collection of programs for manipulating images.
The viewer included in the ImageMagick package is simply called
'display' (and it is already the default viewer in PIL, so you don't
have to do anything to use it).
