If the storage area is on disk and you don't care about speed, then it's
enough to convert the bit stream and write it out a character at a time.
Some other posters mentioned possible alternative PIL interfaces you
could use, to the one that gives you a bit stream.  The bit stream
interface sounds like a bad choice, but it's the only choice available
then go for it.
