Thank you villares,  
This is exactly what I was seeking.

A note on the STEP 2 of the instruction above:

In order for the library to install correctly ensure you **rename the unzipped** Folder from _/gif-animation-3.0_ to **/gifAnimation**

I made a simple python example using the included “lavalamp.gif” file for anyone interested.

```auto
// JSGauthier
// Make a .gif loop using the gifAnimation library in python mode.

add_library('gifAnimation')

def setup():
    size(1000,1000)
    global G
    G = Gif(this, "lavalamp.gif")

def draw():
    background(0)
    G.loop()
    imageMode(CENTER)
    image(G, mouseX,mouseY)

```
