ActiveBitmap provides a function based on wx.StaticBitmap, capable of accepting multiple bitmaps
that can be cycled through using a Timer, a quasi-animation if you will.
It can utilise existing Gif files, either broken down into a list of the component parts, or a valid Gif filename,
with the caveat that they should not have been optimised for size ( see ActiveBitmap for details)

ActiveBitmap will utilise PIL - Pillow (Fork of the Python Imaging Library), if available, for speed purposes,
 when processing Gif files or animated WEBP files.
