Converting hex data to image

I am implementing an authentication system(in Django) using LDAP as the
backend(django-auth-ldap). When we fetch the data from the LDAP server for
a particular valid user, the data associated with the user contains the
thumbnail photo in hex representation. E.x.:

[('CN=XX,OU=Users,OU=Accounts,DC=test,DC=com', {'msExchBlockedSendersHash':
['\xce'], 'mailNickname': ['test_user'], 'primaryGroupID': ['513'],
'logonCount': ['1021'], *thumbnailPhoto:
['\xef\xd8\xff\xe0\x00\x10JFIF\x00\x01\x01\x01\x00`\x00`\x00\x00\xff\xdb\x00C\x00\x08\x06\x06\x07\x06\x05\x08\x07\x07\x07\t\t\x08\n\x0c\x14\r\x0c.....']*......
]

How do I convert the hex data for an image to the actual image?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Shyam
