I have just run into the same problem.  

I happen to have all the images I use in an images file (generated by
img2py).  So I don't at this point have any image filenames.

On the offchance that I could just call the image.convert method, I
added it back in an AttributeError handler.  I get back some sort of
name from convert(), and rawdata is 17k+, but no luck actually drawing
the image.  As a side note, the rest of the canvas.drawImage method does
not seem to have changed.  

Is it worthwhile trying to patch drawImage() this way, or am I toast
(due to other changes elsewhere)?

python 2.3.3
