Python script to create HTML gallery, thumbnails

[John D. Gorman]

For what it's worth, Jeff Kunce wrote a similar utility for image
resizing that included a simple gui. You might find some other useful
thngs in his "image squeezer" at:
http://starship.python.net/crew/jjkunce/ . This also uses PIL.
