Re: load Image() from embedded python

Thanks Andy.

It does indeed work. For anyone else that might try this, here's what I did...

Use bin2py to convert the jpg image file to python:
https://github.com/MarioVilas/shellcode_tools/blob/master/bin2py.py

    > bin2py logo.jpg -o logo.py

Then put in the program something like this:

     import logo
     import StringIO
     from reportlab.platypus import Image

          img = Image(StringIO(logo.logo), width=48, height=48)

Works swimmingly and now I don't have to package the logo.jpg file as a data 
file with the program.

Note that I was not able to get ReportLab Image() to work with the output from 
wxPython's img2py utility as I had originally intended, hence the use of bin2py.
