Like this, I presume?

            img = open(pic, "w")
            img.write(content)
            print '<td><input type="hidden" name="%s"' % str(x), '
value="%s">' % pic
            print content
#            print '<img src="%s"><br /><br /></td>\n' % pic
Does not work _at_all LOL. You will recall, also, that you once gave me a
line similar to the one commented out (but without writing then opening the
file). THAT did not work, either. So now do you see why I am frustrated??

Well, as I mentioned before, I am sending text/html because the page, like
almost all web pages, has a whole lot more content than just images. Or,
perhaps you are suggesting I build my pages in frames, and have a frame for
every image. Unsightly!

My solution works just fine, thank you. It is inelegant. But it now appears
to me, and I dare say rather clearly, that this inelegance is the fault of
python itself. Perhaps this should be brought to Guido´s attention.
