        can be decoded by the standard Python `sndhdr' module, then the

        _encoder is a function which will perform the actual encoding for

        Image instance.  It should use get_payload() and set_payload() to
        change the payload to the encoded form.  It should also add any
        Content-Transfer-Encoding: or other headers to the message as
        necessary.  The default encoding is Base64.

        constructor, which turns them into parameters on the Content-Type:
