A similar approach as the last one should work, the problem I was having is
that to print the binary string from python you have to decode it, and
latin-1 seems close to right, but it puts a bunch of extra bytes in it that
lead to a bad png file. I feel like this worked in Python2 with StringIO,
but not in Python3 with BytesIO.
