[python-win32] How to convert an OLE image from ODBC?

[Steven James]

Have you tried writing the binary data to a file, then reading it from that
file with PIL?

Also, you could try Image.frombuffer() if you can coerce the binary data
into a python string. I just finished a win32 project that read thumbnails
from COM using IExtractImage and the data came in with B,G,R byte order
instead of R,G,B, so that took some finagling as well.
