Tkinter to put a GIF Image on a Canvas (Python)

In case anybody wonders, the Tk root window, the one with the Tk symbol in the corner, is created by default.

What if you wanted to get an image from a webpage?

To get a GIF picture from the Internet ...

''' Tk_Canvas_Image_url.py
display an image obtained from an internet web page in Tkinter

import io
import base64
try:
    # Python2
    import Tkinter as tk
    from urllib2 import urlopen
except ImportError:
    # Python3
    import tkinter as tk
    from urllib.request import urlopen


root = tk.Tk()
root.title("display a website image")
# a little more than width and height of image
w = 520
h = 320
x = 80
y = 100
# use width x height + x_offset + y_offset (no spaces!)
root.geometry("%dx%d+%d+%d" % (w, h, x, y))

# this GIF picture previously downloaded to tinypic.com
image_url = "http://i46.tinypic.com/r9oh0j.gif"

image_byt = urlopen(image_url).read()
image_b64 = base64.encodestring(image_byt)
photo = tk.PhotoImage(data=image_b64)

# create a white canvas
cv = tk.Canvas(bg='white')
cv.pack(side='top', fill='both', expand='yes')

# put the image on the canvas with
# create_image(xpos, ypos, image, anchor)
cv.create_image(10, 10, image=photo, anchor='nw')

root.mainloop()

how do you resize the image or do some editing ?

@urireo561 You can use pythonmagick or another imagemagick python binding to resize the image. See this snippet for example https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/code/463880/resize-an-image-with-pythonmagick

I'm using this code snippet and i'm trying to get the background to display, but all I get is the grey window. All of my widgets display correctly though. Their code for the widghets is below the canvas code.

 bg_Image = tk.PhotoImage(file = 'Earth.gif')
        canvas = tk.Canvas(master, width = 500, height = 500, bg = '#d3d3d3')
        canvas.pack()
        canvas.create_image(50, 10, image=bg_Image, anchor='nw')

I dont get any error in the shell and the rest of the code runs correctly. These 4 lines just seem to not like me

I did the same thing it said but my image doesnt fits corectly in the canvas or its not completely in canvas. what should I do to fix it?
