Tkinter is not showing an image, what does this error mean and how can I get the correct image to sh-CodePudding

I am creating a dice roller in VSCode with Python for a class and we are to use Tkinter to create our widget to achieve this. I followed a tutorial to a T and yet I am still receiving errors saying the images do not exist. I have tried making my images .gif and .png and neither works.

Here is the code:

import tkinter as tk
from PIL import Image, ImageTk 
import random

root = tk.Tk ()
root.title("Cassie's Dice Roller")
root.geometry("500x500")

six_dice= ["one.png" , "two.png" , "three.png" , "four.png" , "five.png" , "six.png"]

roll_one = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(random.choice(six_dice)))

label = tk.Label(root, image=roll_one)

label.pack(side=tk.CENTER)

def six_roll():
    roll_one = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(random.choice(six_dice)))
    label.configure(image=roll_one)
    label.image=roll_one

Button = tk.Button(root, text='Roll', foreground='blue', command='six_roll')

Button.pack()

root.mainloop()

Here is the error I'm receiving:

File "C:\Users\brind\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 2953, in open
    fp = builtins.open(filename, "rb")
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '4.gif'

CodePudding user response：

When I ran this code I got no similar error. The only problem was with the image.CENTER statement within the pack. But remove that and the code ran fine. I would try out an absolute path to the images as they don't seem to be appearing in your run level directory.

CodePudding user response：

Where have you stored the pictures? You can get the location which the python interpreter searches files through

os.getcwd()(link):

Return a string representing the current working directory.

In default, it's the path of the workspace folder, because it's the default value in the terminal.
