Tkinter: An image and label are not appearing.

[deanhystad]

So does that mean we have to always run the label creation code even if we don't call Begintrans?

This is your program. I have no idea how it is supposed to work. I'm just saying that the reason your labels don't appear is because they are not created. If you want to see the labels without calling begintrans() you need to move the label code somewhere else where it does get executed.
