[Image-SIG] Re: how can I use img.tostring()

[DrTebi]

Great, thanks so much, it works now. This is what I was trying to
accomplish:


import Image
from popen2 import popen2
import StringIO

original = 'princesa.jpg'

img = Image.open(original)
img.thumbnail((200,200))

file = StringIO.StringIO()
img.save(file, "JPEG")
thumb = file.getvalue()

# this now works ;)
pout, pin = popen2('attr -q -s thumbnail ' + original)
pin.write(thumb)
pin.close()


It's still a little baby, but I think the idea of using extended attributes
and putting the thumbnail of an image into an attribute is a very nifty
thing...

By the way, I am surprised how fast the Image library is. Doing the same
with PHP, which usually uses the GD library, was significally slower. Is
there a specific reason for this?
