Yeah, I get it - I made a point of building this with no jQuery or other JS dependencies just for more experience in writing "pure" vanilla JS. But of course one of the ways I can get away with that is that the browser already gives me a huge "standard library" of sorts for doing hard things like reading compressed image formats…
Though python has a massive set of "included batteries", simple images aren't included in those. This makes me very sad sometimes and I usually just fall back to simple BMP files... :/
