Natively? No. You have to use Tbmp images. There are dozens of
convertors out there. We've got a smattering of ImageMagick, PIL, netpbm,
and ppmtpTbmp in use on a project we're working on.
Pretty soon, if all goes well, we're going to have a Tbmp encoder
native to PIL as one of it's supported image formats. Myself and 2 other
people are loosely working on it.
The gif spec is very well documented, however it's a non-free
image format, so I suggest you get away from it as fast as you can. It's
trivial to write a convertor/encoder for gif->Tbmp.
