You have to convert the background color to a transparent color. With imagemagick you would use the convert -transparency options, but whatever method you choose, the computer does not know what is background and what is not so you have to tell it what to do. Here is Google's result for "imagemagick transparent background".

Er, you misunderstand. We think it is the GIF that is faulty, not your code.

Again, I would suggest using an existing and tested tool, such as imagemagick called by os.system or subprocess to convert.
