Ok. I am trying one last time.

Consider a very minimalistic image viewer. It has a menu bar at the top
and shows one image. The path to the image may be passed as sys.argv[1],
in which case it should be immediately displayed. The image should be
displayed in "natural" size but must be scaled down if it doesn't fit.


How do you do that?

You may use any framework, preferrably (since this is a Python group)
a cross-platform framework usable from Python.
