I don't currently anticipate any additional changes, so I would prefer 
to have them all at once.

BTW, since this will require some changes in existing user code if they 
regenerate their python image files then I'm thinking that this should 
not go into 2.8.  Any thoughts from the group on that?

If we do want to get this into 2.8 then I think that we need to make 
img2py still be able to generate functions like before instead of using 
the new class, so the same API will be available in the generated file. 
  We can add an option that turns on the generation of code using the 
class instead of functions, and then in 2.9 make that be the default. 
The data can still be encoded with base64 in the new version using 
either functions or the class instance since I don't think anybody will 
care about that as long as they are able to get the bitmaps without 
changing anything in their code.
