Clickable Images for Python

Question

I'm an entry level python coder looking to create a Guess Who styled game. At university, I've yet to learn how to import images and bind them to fixed places on a screen (resembling the game board). Is there any way to click on a specific image and have an onClickEvent to occur, where that specific character(image) is chosen. The majority of my coding abilities are in python, but I am skeptical if this is the best possible language to do a project like this in.

Every GUI has Button widget which is clickable and (mostly) can display image.

But mostly in GUI you can assign click event to every object ie. Label with Image.

ie. Tkinter

import tkinter as tk
from PIL import Image, ImageTk

# --- functions ---

def on_click(event=None):
    # `command=` calls function without argument
    # `bind` calls function with one argument
    print("image clicked")

# --- main ---
    
# init    
root = tk.Tk()

# load image
image = Image.open("image.png")
photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)

# label with image
l = tk.Label(root, image=photo)
l.pack()

# bind click event to image
l.bind('<Button-1>', on_click)

# button with image binded to the same function 
b = tk.Button(root, image=photo, command=on_click)
b.pack()

# button with text closing window
b = tk.Button(root, text="Close", command=root.destroy)
b.pack()
    
# "start the engine"
root.mainloop()

Graphic modules like PyGame can display image too, and have click event but sometimes you have to check manually if you clicked in area with image (and you have to create mainloop manually)
