This looks OK.

> sys.path.append('\\PyGlucoCE')

What is the purpose of the above line? I don't think you are importing any 
modules from that directory.

I think that should be: ImgGlucose = PhotoImage(file = 
'\\PyGlucoCE\\BtnGluco.gif')

On the other hand, I don't know Tkinter so I may be wrong. Does Tkinter 
search sys.path for image files?

What is Pydev, and which command line are you talking about? Windows CE or 
Windows XP?
