In the case of PDF, the embedding of an image into PDF looks like:

10 0 obj << /Type /XObject_ _/Width 100_ _/Height 100_ _/Alternates 15 0 R_ _/Length 2167_ _>> stream ...binary image data... endstream endobj

What not building "10 0 obj ... stream" and "endstream endobj" in Unicode and then encode to ASCII? Example:

data = b''.join(( ("%d %d obj ... stream" % (10, 0)).encode('ascii'), binary_image_data, ("endstream endobj").encode('ascii'), ))
