Question

I’ve got a wxPython app that uses the following line before creating a wx.BitmapButton:

imagePlus = wx.Image('wxPlus.png', wx.BITMAP_TYPE_PNG).ConvertToBitmap()

Is there a way to include the image’s data in the image, and so something more like this?

plusData = '...√#,›o~ño\Ķ˚fly™Ω.…Õo)Ú∞L∂W_≤Ï~˛⁄...'
imagePlus = wx.Image(plusData, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_PNG).ConvertToBitmap()

Answer 1

By using the module StringIO you can create a ‘file-like object’ that you can pass to wx.ImageFromStream.

import StringIO

stream = StringIO.StringIO()
stream.write('...√#,›o~ño\Ķ˚fly™Ω.…Õo)Ú∞L∂W_≤Ï~˛⁄...')

image = wx.ImageFromStream(stream)
