<p>The <tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">ImageFile</span></tt> module provides support functions for the image open
and save functions.</p>
<p>In addition, it provides a <tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Parser</span></tt> class which can be used to decode
an image piece by piece (e.g. while receiving it over a network connection).
This class implements the same consumer interface as the standard <strong>sgmllib</strong>
and <strong>xmllib</strong> modules.</p>
