iirc, the pygame fromstring/tostring methods are designed to be data-compatible
with PIL's corresponding methods, so you should be able to do

    im = Image.fromstring("RGB", dd.size, dd.data)

instead of doing that pygame.image call (not that the argument order is different).

for details, see the pygame tostring/fromstring docs, and the corresponding PIL
methods:

    http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/image.html
    http://www.pythonware.com/library/pil/handbook/image.htm

hope this helps!
