# img2py

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 fucntions, (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.
> `-u` | Don’t use compression. Leaves the data uncompressed.
> `-i` | Also output a function to return the image as a wxIcon.
