Looks like it has been added already.  From

http://effbot.org/zone/pil-changes-116.htm

- Added "fromarray" function, which takes an object implementing the
  NumPy array interface and creates a PIL Image from it. (from Travis
  Oliphant).

- Added NumPy array interface support (__array_interface__) to the
  Image class (based on code by Travis Oliphant). This allows you to
  easily convert between PIL image memories and NumPy arrays:

import numpy, Image

i =3D Image.open('lena.jpg')
a =3D numpy.asarray(i) # a is readonly
i =3D Image.fromarray(a)
