This is one of the biggest barriers to adopting Python 3. Until PIL 
gets ported it's a non starter for many folks.

And why Tk doesn't support formats other than GIF and PPM for 
its "PhotoImage" widget is a long standing mystery! Thee has been 
much talk of supporting JPG but nothing has ever materialised.
