You can use MySQL's BLOB type to contain the image data. You will need to
escape the data in your INSERT statement. The MySQLdb library comes with a
function called MySQLdb.escape_string() that will properly escape the
special characters that MySQL is sensitive to. If you have the Python
Cookbook, there's a good example on page 278. I haven't seen it online
anywhere.

Also consider storing the images on the filesystem, and just saving the
filename in the database.

Good luck,
Dave
