Showing image in Gui [closed]

Question

I need to implement a function in Gui so you press the buttuon mirror, it calls the function flip, and display the img in the Gui.
Assume that the picture inserted to mirror/flip is B&W img.
I checked flip and it works fine, but not when Im trying to combine it in the Gui.
what am I missing?

def flip(im):
    '''Flips a picutre horizontally, and returns a new image that is a mirror view of the original'''
    org=Image.open(im)
    new=Image.new("L",org.size)   
    for x in range(org.size[0]):
        for y in range(org.size[1]):
            pixel=org.getpixel((x,y))
            new.putpixel((org.size[0]-x-1,y),pixel)
    return new

def mirror():
    '''Flips the image like a mirror does, left to right'''
    global img
    out = Image.new('L',img.size, 'white')
    out=flip(img)
    img = out  
    display() 

def display():
    delete()
    global img
    global photo
    photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(img)
    canvas.create_image(250, 250, image=photo)
    canvas.pack()

### GUI packing ###
g = Gui()    
g.title('PhotoPy 0.2')
global img
### canvas
canvas=g.ca(500, 500, bg='white')

### menu 
g.row(weights=[1,0,0,0])
filename = g.en(text='python.bmp', width=16)
g.bu(text='...', command=browse)
g.bu(text='Save', command=save)
g.bu(text='Load', command=load)
g.bu(text='Mirror', command=mirror)
g.endrow() 
### start
g.mainloop()

I get this error msg:

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):

Assuming Image is pil.Image, the open function expects a file name or a file object as the argument. In your code img is probably None as you don't set it anywhere.

On another note, you shouldn't use a global variable for the image, or use global variables in general, if you're not sure you really need them. Refactor your code into a class that has the image as an attribute. Also, declaring photo as global in display is just plain unneccessary as you only use it in display anyways.
