Yes, that was the trouble. Based on your suggestion, I now massage the image string with PIL, then fromstring() works! obj =Image.open(StringIO.StringIO(str)) #obj.convert( mode='P') # conversion is implicit, mode is 'P' already img = gm.image.fromstring(obj.tostring(),(71,96),"P") Next I'm going to load all 53 card resources into a list (array) of strings, then write it out, pickled. That should smooth out loading the game when I use 4-6 decks (Blackjack-21). thanks for getting to my post so quickly, tlviewer -- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
