Python Substitute for PHP GD, Resizing an image on the client side

[brahmaforces]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your responses. Sorry I should have been clearer in my
question. Yes PHP is server side, and it seems that all image
processing using GD or ImageMagicks etc happens on the server.
Therefore Diez's suggestion of using javascript to select a rectangle
on the client side would be the best option and then upload this small
selection to the server and then process there.

Does anyone have any code that does the javascript "selecting the
rectangle bit" and uploading to the server. Also incidentally is ftp
or put the recommended way to go for uploading the reduced image to
the server?

Thanks...
