Below find a Piddle-based (with pil image handling) program which I
use to produce PDF printouts of the photos from my digital camera.  It's
all of 46 lines long, without much code optimization.

I found that scaling in Piddle was much slower than in pil, but that
resolution of the thumbnails was too granular if I just scaled in pil.

pil is great.
