wxPython provides the img2py utility for this sort of thing. On my Windows box, it was here: L:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode\wx\tools You can read up on how to use it here: http://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/?p=34 Unfortunately, that article is a little dated. The newest version of wxPython includes an updated img2py utility that I'm told supports the previous API, but I haven't tested it. One of these days, I'll have to update that post to reflect the new way though... Glad you found an alternate way to do it though. I recommend subscribing to the wxPython group. They can give you additional pointers, should you need them: http://wxpython.org/maillist.php Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
