It is not the only way to do it on Python, it's not even an especially 
good way. But I suggest you either read what I have already written more 
carefully, or study HTTP and HTML until you understand what you are 
doing unnecessarily wrong. There is absolutely no need to save the 
images to the file store (otherwise there would be no point in having 
them in the database in the first place). You simply need to understand 
how to serve them dynamically.
