Can't see background image

Coding Beginning Blender Code and Development

I’m new to Blender. I’m trying add a background image to my scene in Python script. It runs without errors, but I can’t see the background image.

Can someone please look at my code below and tell me what I’m doing wrong? (It may be that my camera is not active, but I’m not sure how to activate it.) Thank you very much in advance!

import bpy
filepath = r"C: est rees.jpg"
img = bpy.data.images.load(filepath)

for area in bpy.context.screen.areas:
if area.type == ‘VIEW_3D’:
pace_data = area.spaces.active
bg = space_data.background_images.new()
bg.image = img
break

cam = bpy.data.cameras.new(“Camera”)
cam_ob = bpy.data.objects.new(“Camera”, cam)
bpy.context.scene.camera = cam_ob
bpy.context.scene.objects.link(cam_ob)
bpy.context.scene.objects.active = bpy.context.scene.objects[“Camera”]

It’s works here.Make sure your file path is right and you had a typo (pace_data = area.spaces.active).

bpy.context.scene.camera = cam_ob
bpy.context.scene.objects.link(cam_ob)
bpy.context.scene.objects.active = bpy.context.scene.objects["Camera"]
