the im.mode attribute tells you what color model the image is using (see
the documentation for details).

assuming the mode is "P" (for 8-bit palette images), you can either
convert the entire image to RGB and then pick out the values for the
pixels you need
image = im.convert("RGB")
rgb = image.getpixel((x, y))
or crop out just the pixel you want and convert that one:
rgb = im.crop((x, y, x+1, y+1)).convert("RGB").getpixel((0, 0))
or use the pixel value as an index into the palette array:
p = im.getpalette()
v = im.getpixel((x, y))
rgb = p[v*3:v*3+3]
