If you're using the Image flowable then yes. You can copy the data into a 
StringIO object. And then reset it.

you need to do something like

from StringIO import StringIO
x = StringIO(data)
x.seek(0)


x now looks like a python file object so you can pass it directly to Image 
instead of a file name.
