Hi I have the following code 

    @hug.get('/getgif', output=hug.output_format.image('gif'))
    def get(username: str, password: str):
        dir_path = os.path.dirname(__file__)
        img_path = os.path.join(dir_path, 'animation.gif')
        img = Image.open(img_path)
        return img

I am using hug, python3 and PIL to create a response. The image returned to my browser does not anmiate at all. I am guessing PIL only takes the first frame of the GIF image and return that. Is there any alternative to stream the whole GIF image back to browser?

You don't need to load the gif with PIL. You just have to give the function the right output-format and return the file path of the image. Have a look at this example:

@hug.get('/images', output=hug.output_format.file)
def get_image(name: str):
    img_file = os.path.join(IMG_ROOT_DIR, name) # type: str
    return img_file
