wxPython: images from URLs

[Jonathan Daugherty]

# Why wouldn't you use wxBitmapFromImage?

The api docs suggest that using the wxBitmap(image) constructor
is better.  Besides: this is beside the point -- this code fails:

  stream = cStringIO.StringIO(imgdata)
  imgobj = wx.wxImage(stream)

The second line raises a TypeError: "String or Unicode type
required."
