Comment (by Timothy Schilling):
Is there any concern that users will be running random byte code? This on
the face of it, looks like code that should not be blindly copied and
pasted into a codebase because it's difficult to parse what the following
actually is. Using PIL to generate an image is more declarative and
explicit in what it's doing.
{{{
>>> img = BytesIO(
... b'GIF89a\x01\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00!\xf9\x04\x01\x00\x00\x00'
... b'\x00,\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x01\x00\x00\x02\x01\x00\x00'
... )
}}}
