How do I add an image that is stored as binary in a BLOB column?

Hi!

Trying to add a picture to a document that is stored as binary straight into the DB. Bot PNG and GIF files. How do I approach this problem?

document.add_picture(bin(item['data']))

item['data'] is the column that has the binary for the image.

Wrap the image bytes in a file-like object:

import io

image_stream = io.BytesIO(bin(item["data"]))
document.add_picture(image_stream)

Wrap the image bytes in a file-like object:

import io

image_stream = io.BytesIO(bin(item["data"]))
document.add_picture(image_stream)

I’ve been searching for this solution for weeks. I needed to insert a SharePoint image into a docx table and it ends up being 3 lines of code. Thanks so much.
