minimal python variant for small footprint apps like embedded apps

# Convert "arbitrary" image files to rgb files (SGI's image format).
# Input may be compressed.
# The uncompressed file type may be PBM, PGM, PPM, GIF, TIFF, or Sun raster.
# An exception is raised if the file is not of a recognized type.
# Returned filename is either the input filename or a temporary filename;
# in the latter case the caller must ensure that it is removed.
# Other temporary files used are removed by the function.
