Hi All,

I try to display an image from a URL but that doesn't seem to work.
do I have to download it first before I display ?

from tkinter import *
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
import os

root = Tk()
imgURL = 'https://www.marketbeat.com/scripts/temp/estimateswide4879.png'
img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(imgURL))
panel = Label(root, image = img)
panel.pack(side = "bottom", fill = "both", expand = "yes")
root.mainloop()

Could to that,but can also get image as bytes and give data to image.open() using BytesIO.

import tkinter as tk
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
import os
import requests
from io import BytesIO

root = tk.Tk()
img_url = "https://www.marketbeat.com/scripts/temp/estimateswide4879.png"
response = requests.get(img_url)
img_data = response.content
img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(BytesIO(img_data)))
panel = tk.Label(root, image=img)
panel.pack(side="bottom", fill="both", expand="yes")
root.mainloop()

Some PEP-8 fixes and * is gone.
