How do I serve an image from a python script?

Hi,
I am trying to serve an image from a Python script using Apache under
Windows. My simple HTML statement:
<img src="ShowPict.py?fn=xxx" alt="a picture">
...and my simple script:
#!c:/Python20/python.exe
import sys
def pix():
n = 'c:/My Pictures/Sample.jpg'
p = open(n,'rb')
apix = p.read()
p.close()
sys.stdout.write("content-type: image/jpeg\n\n")
sys.stdout.write(apix)
sys.stdout.flush()
if __name__ == '__main__':
pix()
As you can see I am ignoring the CGI fields for the moment and am just trying
to serve up an image. Through debugging statements that I have removed, I
know the program crashes on the statement
sys.stdout.write(apix)
if the picture is over 200,000 bytes.
On small images (10k), the script runs to completion, but no image appears.
What am I doing wrong?
TIA,
Roger Haase
