Need help with this problem using Python programming as soon as possible, thank you!

#code

from tkinter import *
from tkinter.filedialog import askopenfilename

#a class representing ImageBrowser GUI
class ImageBrowser:
    #constructor
    def __init__(self):
        #creating a window
        self.root = Tk()
        #creating an empty photoimage (you can pass a file name if you want to set
        # an image initially)
        self.photo = PhotoImage()
        #creating a label with above photo as image
        self.imgLabel = Label(self.root, image=self.photo)
        #adding label to window
        self.imgLabel.pack()
        #creating a button, enabling it to call action() method on click
        self.btn=Button(self.root,text='Open Image', command=self.action)
        self.btn.pack()
        self.root.mainloop() #staying until user closes window

    #event handler method
    def action(self):
        #using askopenfilename dialog window, asking for a .gif extension image file
        filename=askopenfilename(filetypes=[("Gif Images","*.gif")])
        #resetting photo image with above file
        self.photo=PhotoImage(file=filename)
        #updating image of image label
        self.imgLabel.config(image=self.photo)

#creating an object of ImageBrowser which will display the GUI and interact with the user
browser=ImageBrowser()

#OUTPUT
