Help on module gif:

NAME
    gif

DESCRIPTION
    Byte-level GIF library.
    The goal is to interface with the GIF format rather than edit the images,
    therefore each class has generally public attributes and is intended to be
    used as a struct. However, some quick functions are included due to the
    relative efficiency.
        
        Two command-line invocations are provided:
        * gif.py test <file.gif>
        This decompresses and recompresses the image to test the module.
        
        * gif.py optimize <input.gif> <output.gif>
        This compresses the image by removing extra colors and blocks.
