In a webbrowser...
this is my code...

#!/usr/bin/python2.3

print 'Content-Type:image/jpeg\n\n'
import blakHtml, sys
sys.stderr = sys.stdout
import MySQLdb
import urllib
import cgi
import time
prevPg=blakHtml.HTMLDocument()
newConnection=MySQLdb.connect(host='localhost', user='blaktyger', \
                                           passwd='linux4ever', db='photoFamille')
curseur=newConnection.cursor()

sqlCmdFr="""SELECT *  FROM photo"""
curseur.execute(sqlCmdFr)
resultats = curseur.fetchall()
p=0
for val in resultats:
    p=p+1
    #print '<img src=" ' + val[5]+ ' " ' +' >' THIS DOES NOT WORK
    print val[5]
newConnection.close()
I know there is no HTML code but this is just a test...
