Python 3.4 crash when opening image with PIL in tkinter
I have no idea why, but even for the simplest scenarios, Python crashes and I get the following message:
"ActivePython 3.4 exited unexpectedly."
I am using it on Mac, OSX 10.7.5
.
The code I'm running to test this:
from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
root = Tk()
image = Image.open("/Users/Name/Desktop/image.png")
photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)
image_label = Label(root, width = 400, height = 400, image = photo)
root.mainloop()
I think this is a Tkinter issue, not PIL, because the following code works fine:
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
image = Image.open("/Users/Name/Desktop/image.png")
image.show()
Any suggestions why this might be?
I thought I would post the error log section no matter how long it takes, in the hopes that it would somehow help fix this nasty issue.

I submitted my question to github and the custom "radar" pointed me to a solution.
Tk extension libraries are sometimes referred to as / System / Library / Frameworks instead of / Library / Frameworks. This is probably a more elegant way to do it, but I just renamed the Tcl.frameworks and TK.frameworks folders in the System / Library / Frameworks path and voila! There is no python crash and the image is displayed as expected.
