If that's the issue, there are various ways around it. You could
patch PIL itself (same function) to quote the filename when it is
constructing the command. Alternatively, the tempfile module has a
tempdir global you could set to some other temporary directory before
using the show() function (or any other code using tempfile).

Thanks for the pointers David, this will give me some things to
investigate.
As for me, I'm a long time and regular Linux user with some XP tossed
in.
I use the PIL under XP at times, but this problem is happening to
someone
I know who is using both Vista and Windows and can't get the basic
thing
to work so I am trying to help. (I have access to a Win 7 VM for
testing
purposes at least).
If I find a work-around or fix or concrete cause I'll post. In the
meantime
if anyone has any other ideas or fixes/suggestions, please don't be
shy :-)
How about forget PIL's show and its automagic behavior.
Use PIL's image save to write the image to a nice, known location, such
as C:/temp/pic.jgp -- nothing but alphanumerics + ':/.'
Next test how to run a known external viewer from a command window.
Then use os.system or subprocess to run it with the same command line.
Package the two lines as a myshow(params) function.
