[Image-SIG] progressive image displaying

[Arthur Elsenaar]

Hi,

what I like to do, is reading arbitrary images coming in over a socket 
and display them _as they arrive_, so when a chunk is in, immediatly 
display it (in pygame).
 From the PIL documentation, I can see that one needs to use the 
frombuffer() method and feed that to pygame using the fromstring() 
method. Also I understand the pygame.load() function needs a complete 
file like object (StringIO), so how does one go about partly displaying 
these incoming data chunks? Do I need to use the PIL parse function 
somehow? Do I need to pad the missing data?

I'm a sorta newbie and am a bit at a loss how to fit it all together. 
Hope someone can enlighten me and point me to some examples maybe?

Thanks, Arthur.
