Dear Guido and friends,

Noticed this is gaining alot more support lately.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/374397522/apngasm-foss-animated-png-tools-and-apng-standardi

After testing my gif and apng Animated 3D Python Powered Logos...
The difference is real obvious at first. apng wins with speed(gif is limited to say 1/10sec and apng can do at least 1/80sec) and transparency/color quality(tested on windows ATM)

Mozilla based browsers, Opera, Chrome(extension), Xnview and some other popular apps have integrated rendering apng functionality so far...
I wouldn't tend to think that the top browser devs were wrong in their choice.
It would be nice to receive the Guido *nod of approval*... attached samples are under PSF License or your better suggestion, BDFL.

Hopefully there will be a libpng implementation and pyAPNG stuff(s) worked on also soon.

1. gif format
2. apng format(if it doesn't animate in your browser, then apng is not supported yet)

If you like what you see, then consider supporting the devs working on this and help make it a standard or start devving yourselves.

@pyDEVs: Any news on this yet...?

I can't seem to attach a file in this group, thus the waiting DL. Apparently, i am not qualified enough or something here(at least on this group)..., but then again if every python fanatic that posts spam here did the same, then the world would turn into eggs.

Your welcome. Python is the Best! 

Comments, complaints, spam, eggs, etc., welcome here also.
