Hello,
I think what you have to do instead of img.info is to call img.mode,
this will give you the type of image (RGB, ARGB, P (indexed), etc).
In a 'P' mode image you can make the following:
myimg = im.palette
data = myimg.getdata()
data is a tuple with the following structure:
(mode, str)
mode: is the color mode, eg: RGB, ARGB...
list: is a string that contains the values of the palette colors, once
following each other, and you have to parse it by your own depending
on the mode.
eg:
print data
('RGB', "\x80\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x80\x00.....")
The you can decode this with the following code:
decoded = [ord(component) for component in data[1]]
print decoded
[128, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 128, 0,...]
because of the mode is RGB the colors of our palette are:
R G B
128, 0, 0
0, 0, 0
0, 128, 0
.....
I hope i was clear enough.
Lucas.
