img2py.py – Convert an image to PNG format and embed it in a Python
module with appropriate code so it can be loaded into a program at runtime. The benefit is that since it is Python source code it can be delivered as a .pyc or ‘compiled’ into the program using freeze, py2exe, etc.

Usage:

img2py.py [options] image_file python_file

Options:

-m <#rrggbb> If the original image has a mask or transparency defined it will be used by default. You can use this option to override the default or provide a new mask by specifying a colour in the image to mark as transparent.
-n <name> Normally generic names (getBitmap, etc.) are used for the image access functions. If you use this option you can specify a name that should be used to customize the access functions, (getNameBitmap, etc.)
-c Maintain a catalog of names that can be used to reference images. Catalog can be accessed via catalog and index attributes of the module. If the -n <name> option is specified then <name> is used for the catalog key and index value, otherwise the filename without any path or extension is used as the key.
-a This flag specifies that the python_file should be appended to instead of overwritten. This in combination with -n will allow you to put multiple images in one Python source file.
-i Also output a function to return the image as a wxIcon.
-f Generate code compatible with the old function interface. (This option is ON by default in 2.8, use -f to turn off.)

You can also import this module from your Python scripts, and use its img2py() function. See its docstring for more info.
