I would like to thank everyone for their help - you all are amazing!
It was a problem with not opening a file in binary mode - which as soon as I read that I smacked my head very hard and had a Homer moment.
I apologize for not including sys.version and platform.platform() information when I posted errors; however, I was running python -v for each of the tests I was running.
Everything is working perfectly and I hope I will get to help someone as you have helped me. Thank you very much for your time and knowledge.
Sincerely, Bryan _______________________________________________ Image-SIG maillist - Image-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/image-sig
