- read your pixels from the XML file and assemble them in the correct 
format in a buffer
- use Image.frombuffer() or Image.fromstring() (from PIL) to create an 
image from that data
- use Image.save() (also from PIL) to save it as a bmp.

Have a look at http://www.pythonware.com/library/pil/handbook/image.htm 
for the details on those methods.
