[AstroPy] numarray pdf 1.5 is broken. Using numdisplay, Python, PIL, and Tkinter

[Wayne Watson]

Here's a better example of what I'm after (it uses a tif file, but fits 
is what I want or expect to use).

    # fun and games
    import Image, ImageDraw
    im = Image.open("wagon.tif")
    draw = ImageDraw.Draw(im)
    draw.line((0, 0) + im.size, fill=128)
    draw.line((0,0),(20,140), fill=128)

    root.mainloop()


"_show_ [in the example] is pretty primitive...", in Tkinter/PIL.
The question is whether ds9 is a module that can be used within a Python 
program? I really do not know, but indications are that it is not.
