This is very helpful indeed, thank you. Awe-inspiring.

It occurred to me that I could edit the PIL/ImageShow.py, replacing ‘xv’ (in five places) with the utility of my choice and using ‘executable’ as the command.

Or, is this just not done?

It becomes a maintenance problem.

Alternatively you could:

Just write your own show function which accepts an Image and displays it with your program of choice. You might need to write some equivalent code which saves the Image to a file first, and removes it afterwards.

You could copy the show() code into a function of your own (i.e. in your own codebase) modify that to suit, then monkeypatch the class:

 Image.show = your_personal_show_function

when your programme starts. That way the code changes are not in the PIL code.
