Guessing that you are using Tkinter.......  try the PhotoImage class:-

from Tkinter import *


class Spacer:
    def __init__(self, color="", width=1, height=1):
        self.image = PhotoImage(width=width, height=height)
        for row in range(height):
            for col in range(width):
                self.image.put(color, (row, col))
                
    def getSpacer(self):
        return self.image




if __name__=="__main__":
    root=Tk()
    image=Spacer(color="black", width=10, height=10)
    l=Label(root, image=image.getSpacer())
    l.pack()
    root.mainloop()
