According to wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMP_file_format>

"""
The size of each row is rounded up to a multiple of 4 bytes [...]
"""

So 48/8 == 6 will be rounded to 8, and 8*48 == 384 == 0x180.

To actually do something the last line should be handle1.close(). I 
recommend

with open(bmpfilename ,"rb") as handle1:
    raw = bytearray(handle1.read())

instead which has the additional advantage that the file will be closed if 
an exception occurs in the with-suite.
