WXPython - Using inline images

[Sick Monkey]

I have a question about WXPython and using inline images.  The code that I
have included into this email comes from the following URL:
        http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet654.html

As you can see from the code below, that this application will take an
inline JPG image, and will create a local copy of the image called
zzz777.jpg.  Is there anyway WXPython can just use the inline image without
having to create a physical copy?  I know this can be done in TKinter using
inline gifs, but was wondering if anyone knew of a clever way to do this in
WXPython?
