There is a package to manage that process for you at http://resourcepackage.sourceforge.net/ (I haven't tried that package, but it looks promising). If you are using wxPython then you already have a tool to help with this, Google for img2py to find out more about it.

Read in the file as a string (containing the binary data). Use the
base64 codec to turn it into ascii characters that can be stored in a
Python module.

It should then be trivial to store it as a variable in a python module -
with a wrapper object that uses cStringIO and the base64 codec to return
a file like object.

I *guess* that is the basic approach of img2py...
