You can use PIL:

data = b'''iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABQAAAAUCAYAAACNiR0NAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAIBJRE
          FUOMvN08ENgCAMheG/TGniEo7iEiZuqTeiUkoLHORK++Ul8ODPZ92XS2ZiADITmwI+sWHwi

          7NUUD9rCiupZqAdTu6yhXgzgBtNFSXQ1+FPTAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC'''

import base64
from PIL import Image
from io import BytesIO

im = Image.open(BytesIO(base64.b64decode(data)))
im.save('accept.jpg', 'JPEG')

In very old Python versions (2.5 and older), replace b''' with ''' and from io import BytesIO with from StringIO import StringIO.
