wxImages can be loaded from strings.  See the wxPython Wiki entry on 
working with images (particularly the sections on PIL and Numeric):

http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/WorkingWithImages

You can probably use PIL to get GIF/JPEG/Whatever formatted data into 
the RAW format for use by wxImage

HTH,
