What is the value of bgcolor that you're passing in? Per the docs: "If given, this should be a single integer or floating point value for single-band modes, and a tuple for multi-band modes (one value per band)." So if you're changing from a multi-band mode to a single-band mode, you would need to change the color argument as well. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
