Re: that's enough

Here is how I do it with wxPython.  You might need to change a few
things to get it to work for your instance since I copied/pasted part
of my image viewer program to try and make a minimal example.
Basically you need to run the simulation then call
self.imageholder.Refresh(), which will execute the code in your
OnPaint, which is linked to ReDraw

class ImageFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, image):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, title="image frame")
        self.image = image
        self.im = Image.open(image)
        self.parent = parent
        self.framenum = 0
        self.imagepanel = wx.Panel(self, -1)
        self.imageholder = wx.StaticBitmap(self.imagepanel, -1,
self.picture, (0,0))
        self.imageholder.Bind(wx.EVT_PAINT, self.OnPaint)

    def OnPaint(self, event):
        self.ReDraw(wx.BufferedPaintDC(self.imageholder))

    def ReDraw(self, dc):
        picture = wx.Image(self.image, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_TIF, self.framenum)
        picture=wx.BitmapFromImage(picture)
        dc.DrawBitmap(picture,0,0)
