The PhotoImage class can only read GIF and PGM/PPM images from files. If you had an image file called calculator.gif in your working directory, you would use ...

p=PhotoImage(file="calculator.gif")

Also add something like compound=TOP to your button() to let tk know where your image is in relation to your text.
