Tkinter.PhotoImage doesn't not support png image

Question

I am using Tkinter to write a GUI and want to display a png file in a Tkiner.Label. So I have some code like this:

self.vcode.img = PhotoImage(d         


        

Answer 1

tkinter only supports 3 file formats off the bat which are GIF, PGM, and PPM. You will either need to convert the files to .GIF then load them (Far easier, but as jonrsharpe said, nothing will work without converting the file first) or you can port your program to Python 2.7 and use the Python Imaging Library (PIL) and its tkinter extensions to use a PNG image.
