The Python Image Library (PIL) does not support full transparency in paletted PNG8 files. You can either disable it with image.palleted option (see docs), or you can install my patched version of PIL:

PS: Please try to avoid image attachments to a minimum. Either make them really small or post somewhere them online.

Regards,
Oliver
