That line produces the same error:
i.save(fp, "GIF")
File "c:\Extras\PIL\Image.py", line 551, in save
SAVE[string.upper(format)](self, fp, filename)
File "c:\Extras\PIL\GifImagePlugin.py", line 229, in _save
ImageFile._save(im, fp, [("gif", (0,0)+im.size, 0, RAWMODE[im.mode])])
File "c:\Extras\PIL\ImageFile.py", line 209, in _save
e = Image._getencoder(im.mode, e, a, im.encoderconfig)
File "c:\Extras\PIL\Image.py", line 174, in _getencoder
return apply(encoder, args + extra)

same here.
