From Kevin Routley (kbroutley at gmail.com)
I have tested with Python 2.7 and 3.5 using Windows 7. There were two bugs in the sample code as presented:
1. The dirpath = '.\' would not work. It needs to be './' or '.\\'
2. The line which starts "img.config" (third from the bottom) needs a leading tab.
The description of the sample is misleading. It reads "Insert image to a list box": this implies images are being put in the list box. Tkinter does not support using images inside a list box. The description might be changed to: "View image by selecting name from list." [I was trying the sample because I was seeking to use images in a list box. Research indicates a different widget set will be necessary, e.g. tix or BWidgets.]
import os
try:
import Tkinter
except ImportError:

for gifname in os.listdir(dirpath):
if not gifname[0].isdigit():
continue
gifpath = os.path.join(dirpath, gifname)
gif = Tkinter.PhotoImage(file=gifpath)
gifsdict[gifname] = gif
L.insert(Tkinter.END, gifname)
L.pack()
img = Tkinter.Label()
img.pack()
def list_entry_clicked(*ignore):
imgname = L.get(L.curselection()[0])
img.config(image=gifsdict[imgname])
L.bind('<ButtonRelease-1>', list_entry_clicked)
root.mainloop()
