How to display multiple jpeg images in a table using python? [duplicate]

Question

I have some jpegs in a directory. I want to display them in a window in rows and columns. For example if I have 10 pictures, I want to display them a 2 rows by 5 columns table.
There is a subplot(m, n, k) command in MATLAB and Octave. How can I do similar thing in python?

I have tried pillow with PIL.Image and show() method but it is very limited and displays only 1 image.

1- How to do this natively (not in browser)?
2- How to do this using matplotlib?
3- How to do this in browser using Jupyter?

@DizietAsahi think he wants the same functionality in matplotlib. — Andrei

@Andrei you're right, I did not look closely at the post I was linking, I assumed it was matplotlib code — Diziet Asahi

Those are really three questions and each has its own answer. (1) concatenate the images with Pillow. (2) use subplots in matplotlib and imshow the images (3) Create a HTML table with the images in it. Those are orthorgonal solutions and while I might help with any of them, writing up a complete answer with code for all three of them is above my current bandwidth. Plus, each of those is probably been answered already somewhere. — ImportanceOfBeingErnest

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from PIL import Image

fig,ax = plt.subplots(2,5)

filenames=['\path\to\img\img_{}.jpg'.format(i) for i in range(10)] #or glob or any other way to describe filenames
for i in range(10):
    with open(filenames[i],'rb') as f:
        image=Image.open(f)
        ax[i%2][i//2].imshow(image)
fig.show()
