I'm not completely sure what you mean by "bitmap representation", but
PIL probably does what you want.  :-)

To convert to a BMP (windows bitmap), you would do:
>>> from Pil import Image
>>> img = Image.open('foo.gif')
>>> img.save('foo.bmp')

If you would rather get a Numeric array with the values from the image:
>>> from Pil import Image
>>> from Numeric import *
>>> img = Image.open('foo.gif')
>>> arr = resize(fromstring(img.tostring(),Int8),img.size)

I hope this helps.
