This is where the palette comes into play. Each 256-color image
has a palette, which is basically an array of length 256, where each
element is a (24-bit RGB) color. The color data for each pixel in the
image is actually an index in this array.

equivalent command is ipconfig, except that it has no generic names
for network interfaces. What that means, is that instead of eth0 (or
en0, or whatever), it uses the full name of your NIC -- which
effectively means that the output differs from one machine to
another. G
ment calls the
function, then assigns to s the representation of the function's
return value. A function that doesn't have a return statement returns
None, and repr(None) == 'None'. Which is what you get.
