Simple script to make .png thumbnails from .zip archive...

[K P S]

Thanks a lot.
  I'm really new to python, and haven't coded in over a decade, so
please be patient. :-)

I'm able to read a .jpg from a .zip archive, but can't seem to
manipulate it.  If I do this:

zip=zipfile.ZipFile(inURL,mode="r")
picture=zip.read("00.jpg")

I get the image, but it is of "type" ZipFile.  How can I change it to
type Image?  Or am I thinking about this in the wrong way?  I would
like to follow this with something like:

picture.thumbnail((128, 128), Image.ANTIALIAS)

But obviously I can't do this directly.  What am I missing?
