Numpy and matplotlib will do what you want:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
def bits_to_ndarray(bits, shape):
abytes = np.frombuffer(bits, dtype=np.uint8)
abits = np.zeros(8 * len(abytes), np.uint8)
for n in range(8):
abits[n::8] = (abytes % (2 ** (n+1))) != 0
return abits.reshape(shape)
# 8x8 image = 64 bits bytes object
bits = b'\x00\xff' * 4
img = bits_to_ndarray(bits, shape=(8, 8))
plt.imshow(img)
plt.show()
