Try saving the image file in the same folder in your computer as you are saving the code. If you are already doing this, then I'm afraid I'm not sure what's wrong.

The path you're providing has escape characters (\) in it, and so it is trying to butcher your string. As you want to use your string as-is, use a raw string by prefixing it with an r: wn.addshape(os.path.expanduser(r"C:\Users\Dianna Jackson\Desktop\space invaders\playerspaceinvaders.gif"))
