Tkinter how to get button image address
I am writing a program for a school project and have come to a point where i need to check the image that is on my button so that i can run it through an if command as followed:
root=Tk()
flag = PhotoImage(file='flag.png')
box = PhotoImage(file='box.png')
def function(event):
if(button.cget('image')==flag):
button.config(image=box)
else:
button.config(image=flag)
button=Button(root)
button.config(image=box)
button.bind('<ButtonRelease>', function)
button.pack()
root.mainloop()
i was expecting it to change the image between flag and box everytime i click on the button but instead it just changes the image to flag the first time i click and is unresponsive for the rest of the clicks

You just need to do the test as if(button.cget('image')==str(flag)): (note addition of str() to the image). The image option is just a string, containing the auto-generated name of the image object in the Tcl/Tk environment; the Python image object converts to this string, but doesn't contain the code needed to implement comparison to strings so you need to make this conversion explicit.

Try this code
root=Tk()
flag = PhotoImage(file='Denaro.gif')
box = PhotoImage(file='Andre.gif')
def function(event):
if(button.cget('image')=='pyimage1'):
button.config(image=box)
else:
button.config(image=flag)
button=Button(root)
button.config(image=box)
button.bind('<ButtonRelease>', function)
button.pack()
root.mainloop()

I believe jasonharper's subsequent answer is a explanation and generalization of this one in that str(flag) will currently be 'pyimage1' (and str(box) will be 'pyimage2').
