Following code works on my machine

you probably have something missing in your code.
please also check the code files's encoding.

make sure you have PIL package installed

import Tkinter as tk
from PIL import ImageTk, Image

path = 'C:/xxxx/xxxx.jpg'

root = tk.Tk()
img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(path))
panel = tk.Label(root, image = img)
panel.pack(side = "bottom", fill = "both", expand = "yes")
root.mainloop()

It s not a standard lib of python 2 7  So in order for these to work properly and if you re using Python 2 7 you should download the PIL library first  Direct download link  http   effbot org downloads PIL-1 1 7 win32-py2 7 exe After installing it  follow these steps    Make sure that your script py is at the same folder with the image you want to show  Edit your script py  from Tkinter import           from PIL import ImageTk  Image  app root   Tk     Setting it up img   ImageTk PhotoImage Image open  app png      Displaying it imglabel   Label app root  image img  grid row 1  column 1            app root mainloop      Hope that helps

There is no  Syntax Error  in the code above - it either ocurred in some other line  the above is not all of your code  as there are no imports  neither the declaration of your path variable  or you got some other error type   The example above worked fine for me  testing on the interactive interpreter
