Thanks! That did it.
The second part of my function is to drop the image in the StringIO buffer into
a Tkinter canvas widget.
If I do this:
self.imageBuffer.seek(0)
image = Image.open(self.imageBuffer)
self.picture1.create_image(0, 0, image = image )
self.picture1 = Canvas(self.pictureFrame

okay - I have an error but I don't understand what I got wrong:
self.imageBuffer = StringIO.StringIO()
image = Image.open(filename)
image = image.resize((150,150),Image.ANTIALIAS)
image.save(self.imageBuffer, format= 'PNG')
image = Image.open(self.imageBuffer)
IOError: cannot identify image fi

See the PIL handbook, where it says "If you have an entire image file in a
string, wrap it in a StringIO object, and use open to load
Here is what I am trying to:
the application user chooses an image file. I want to store the image data in
a field in a sqlite database. My understanding from the reading I have done is
that I have to convert the image data into a string , which I can then store in
the database. Additionall
