string, more likely (zip is a ZipFile object, picture is a string of 
bytes).  PIL expects a file name or a file object, so you need to use 
the StringIO adapter:

    picture = zip.read(name) # returns a string
    file = StringIO.StringIO(picture) # wrap string in file-like object
    image = Image.open(file) # create image object from file-like object
