PPM file data could not be recognized

I am writing a simple image editor. It uses PPM files. From what I can say, I feel that my code should work. However i get this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/zach/Downloads/piceditor (1).py", line 84, in <module>
    main()
  File "/home/zach/Downloads/piceditor (1).py", line 69, in main
    image = Image(Point(100,100), filename)
  File "/home/zach/Downloads/graphics.py", line 770, in __init__
    self.img = tk.PhotoImage(file=pixmap[0], master=_root)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.1/tkinter/__init__.py", line 3272, in __init__
    Image.__init__(self, 'photo', name, cnf, master, **kw)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.1/tkinter/__init__.py", line 3228, in __init__
    self.tk.call(('image', 'create', imgtype, name,) + options)
_tkinter.TclError: couldn't recognize data in image file "pig.ppm"

My code is as follows

def main():
print("Image Editor")
print()
filename = input("name of image file: ")
print()

with open(filename) as f:
    formatind = f.readline()
    width, height = [int(x) for x in f.readline().split()]
    colordepth = f.readline()
    array = []
    for line in f:
        array.append([int(x) for x in line.split()])

win = GraphWin("Image Editor!", width, height)

image = Image(Point(100,100), filename)

Display(image, array, width, height, win)

inf.close()
win.getMouse()
win.close()

main() 

And my display function looks like this:

def Display(image, array, width, height, win):

for i in range(width):
    for j in range(0, height, 3):
        colors = color_rgb(array[i][j], array[i][j+1], array[i][j+2])
        image.setPixel(i, j, colors)
        image.draw(win)

return

This is the ppm file I'm using

I can’t understand for life why it does not recognize the data in the file.

Any help would be great. Thanks

Why aren't you using the PIL library ? The docs claim that it can work with PPM files. However, I am not familiar with working with PPM files with PIL.

Example : Opening a PPM file that creates an object from a file, which you can then use to edit the file.
