you have to keep a reference to the image in your Python
program.  the easiest way is to make it a global variable, or
to add it as an attribute to the widget objekt:

    global gif # keep a reference
    gif = PhotoImage(file=photo)
    photo_widget["image"] = gif

or

    gif = PhotoImage(file=photo)
    photo_widget.image = gif # keep a reference
    photo_widget["image"] = gif
