You've already been given all the best info: If you want to work with 
images, and you want some control over that, then use a gui toolkit. 
Your choices: Tk, WxWidgets, GTK, QT and then it gets harder.

If you want to open a given image file without much control, then simply 
fire-off a call to your o/s to open file 'X' using program 'Y' with 
popen or subprocess (see Python docs).
  To close program 'Y', make sure you keep its process-id and then use 
similar means to call kill. Some image viewers may even replace the last 
image with the new one, so you can leave it open.

Think 'scripting by pipes' if you don't want to use a gui toolkit.
