simple TkInter question - labels

[headspin]

I know how to switch a label from text to an image; simply config the
image property to an existing image.

But how do you do the opposite? Once a label displays an image, how do
you switch it back to displaying text? Setting the image property to
None doesn't seem to do the trick.

By the way, I initially tried to write my (very simple) app with
wxPython, but couldn't deal with the documentation.

From the Tk documentation

"Typically, if the image option is specified then it overrides other options
that specify a bitmap or textual value to display in the widget; the image
option may be reset to an empty string to re-enable a bitmap or text display."

So try setting to an empty string instead of None.

For many Tkinter issues, you can try:
