Take a look at some of the mevas code in the kaa SVN. You'll likely need to use the pygame Surface fromstring()/whatever and create in imlib2 or PIL image with that data (both libraries have that ability). I think you can specify the image format in imlib2, or create it as raw and then convert it to the PNG you need. -Rob
