[wxPython-users] python beginner - python cannot display images ?!?

[Christopher Barker]

Python uses the "current working directory". That can be different 
depending on how you start up the script. If you start it form the 
command line, then it's the dir you start it from. If started in a 
different way, It depends on how you start it.
