Hi, I am working on an image gallery. I am making use of django-imagekit. My site is hosted at a VPS, with 80 MBs of memory. I use NginX with fastcgi.
What I am trying to accomplish is the following: 1. A logged-in user goes to an /upload page, where information about the ftp server is listed 2. The user uploads his pictures through ftp (sometimes more than 100), and clicks 'done' on the page. 3. Images get imported, their EXIF data gets added to the database and they are resized (to about 1024x800) 4. Original images are moved to an 'originals' folder, and stored for some time. I got everything covered, except from step 3. As I don't have a lot of memory, I can't afford to load all the images in the main script. The django fastcgi instances then quickly use about 100MBs together, for quite some time. So I will do this in a separate python script. Then some questions: - It would be nice to open the uploaded file as an PIL image, resize it, and save it to the final destination, therefore saving an extra open() call. It is probably possible to do this in a subclassed ImageField, but I can't really get my head around these FileFields with the FieldFile classes. So what method would I have to override to do this? - What would be the best way to start a separate python script? And is there any way to communicate between de fastcgi script and the import script? Say pass that we are at image 25 of 100?
