How to load an JPEG XR image file in Python

I have some images in the JPEG XR format (file endings ".wdp" & ".jxr") and want to load them in Python. I had to do quite some research since the format seems to be rather"exotic".

I finally found some clues that ImageIo seems to have support for the format (although just through another library but anyway) - It even got suggested here - How to decode JPEG XR files in memory using Python?

I set up everything and tred to use the following code:

import imageio  

imageio.plugins.freeimage.download()
im = imageio.imread("FILE_NAME.jxr", format="JXR");

However it fails with the following error:

ValueError: Could not load bitmap "D:\SOME_DIRECTORIES_TO_FOLLOW...............\d02123020.jxr": No known reason.

After further research my hopes got crushed when I found a bug report which presumably never got fixed -- https://github.com/imageio/imageio/issues/269

So it seems ImageIo is a dead end and I would like to know: Are other there other python libraries/etc that support the JPEG XR format?
