But ImageColor.colormap should either stick to one spelling or include both. 
(The patched version of XpmImagePlugin.py can cope with both spellings.)


BTW, I have noticed that the transparency problem goes away if instead of writing

     im.save("file.png")

I do

     im.save("file.png", **im.info)

Shouldn't .save() use the information in im.info by default, or is this intentional?
