If the above code is illustrative, and you really need the bytes in memory remember to open the file in binary mode: with open("bytes.txt", "rb") as instream: data = instream.read() To create the image later the file-like objects needs to produce bytes: instream = io.BytesIO(data) # not StringIO! photo = Image.open(instream) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
