Problem creating animated gif

I am using gifmaker.py from PIL v1.1.5 on python 2.4.1.

CODE
----------------------------------------------------------------
import ImageGrab, gifmaker

seq = []

while keepOnGoing:
    im = ImageGrab.grab()
    seq.append(im)

fp = open("out.gif", "wb")
gifmaker.makedelta(fp, seq)
fp.close()

---------------------------------------------------------------

however I am getting this error:

Exception in thread Thread-3:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Python24\lib\threading.py", line 442, in __bootstrap
    self.run()
  File "c:\foo.py", line 10, in run
    gifmaker.makedelta(fp, seq)
  File "c:\gifmaker.py", line 79, in makedelta
    for s in getheader(im) + getdata(im):
  File "c:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\PIL\GifImagePlugin.py", line 383,
in getdata
    ImageFile._save(im, fp, [("gif", (0,0)+im.size, 0,
RAWMODE[im.mode])])
KeyError: 'RGB'


Any ideas?  Basically I want to make an animated GIF out of a bunch of
images taken using the ImageGrab module.
