How to insert an image

Is there any library that comes with python 3.5 that allows you to put images into you GUI?

I know Pillow exists but that's an external library just wondering if there's something else :P

Putting a gif image on a canvas with Tkinter

tested with Python24 by vegaseat 25jun2005

from Tkinter import *

create the canvas, size in pixels

canvas = Canvas(width = 300, height = 200, bg = 'yellow')

pack the canvas into a frame/form

canvas.pack(expand = YES, fill = BOTH)

load the .gif image file

put in your own gif file here, may need to add full path

like 'C:/WINDOWS/Help/Tours/WindowsMediaPlayer/Img/mplogo.gif'

gif1 = PhotoImage(file = 'DrBunsen.gif')

put gif image on canvas

pic's upper left corner (NW) on the canvas is at x=50 y=10

canvas.create_image(50, 10, image = gif1, anchor = NW)

run it ...

mainloop()
