Thank you.  Upon reading up on your suggestion I've found so much 
information that I've become even more confused.

The docs say that writing to the blobstore is being depreciated and that 
one should write to the datastore but use blobstore to serve the file.

Basically, I have a PIL.Image object created by: im = 
Image.fromstring('RGB',(width,height),pixels)

I've tried creating a write location with: file_name = 
files.blobstore.create(mime_type='image/png')
and then using: im.save(file_name,'PNG')

but this does not work due to the "read only filesystem", so I'm getting 
lost.
given my Image, what are the steps I need to follow to store and recover 
the image?
