Tkinter pyimage doesn't exist
Figured it out. For some reason, while running in the debugger, if any previous executions had thrown errors I get the "pyimage doesn't exist" error. However, if I restart the debugger (or no previously executed scripts have thrown errors), then the program runs fine.
I had the same error message when using spyder 3.3.6 the only way i could get the .png file to load and display after getting the 'Tinker pyimage error ' was to go to the Console and restart the kernel. After that i worked fine.
From programmersought
image “pyimage1” doesn’t existBecause there can only be one root window in a program, that is, only one Tk() can exist, other windows can only exist in the form of a top-level window (Toplevel()).
Original code
import tkinter as tkwindow = tk.TK()Revised code
import tkinter as tkwindow = tk.Toplevel()Keep other code unchanged
