I am obviously doing something stupid or not understanding the difference between HTML file references and python script file references.
I am trying to create a thumbnail of an existing .jpg file. It is in the directory 'temp', which is below my script I can display the file with <img>, but Image.open does not see it. I think it is probably a path problem, but I have tried '/temp/ fred.jpg' and './temp/fred.jpg' Can anyone help, please PS I am using mod_python on a Linux Apache 2 and python 2.5 CODE ================================================= import os import StringIO def index(req): main(req) def writeHTMLHeader(req): req.content_type = "text/html" req.write('<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict// EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">') req.write('<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">') req.write('<head><title>My Tests: Python</title></head>') req.write('<body>') def writeHTMLTrailer(req): req.write('</body>') req.write('</html>') def writelineHTML(req, htmlMSG): req.write(htmlMSG + '<BR>\n') def createThumb(req, infile, maxwidth, maxheight): import Image import os infile = "temp/fred.jpg" outfile = "temp/fred_th.jpg" if infile != outfile: writelineHTML(req, "Opening %s" % str(infile)) writelineHTML(req, '<img src="%s"></img>' % infile) # Finds File OK *********************** im = Image.open(infile) # ERRORS on the same file ********************* im.thumbnail((maxwidth,maxheight),Image.ANTIALIAS) im.save(outfile, "JPEG") writelineHTML(req, "Created: " + str(outfile)) writelineHTML(req, '<img src="%s"></img>' % outfile) return outfile return "" def showThumbnail(req, picture): myThumb = createThumb(req, picture, 60, 60) if myThumb: writelineHTML(req, '<img src="%s></img>' % myThumb) else: writelineHTML(req, "Thumb %s Not Created" % myThumb) def main(req): writeHTMLHeader(req) picture = "temp/fred.jpg" showThumbnail(req, picture) writeHTMLTrailer(req) ERROR ============================================== File "/home/mcl/htdocs/timslists/thumbs2.py", line 33, in createThumb im = Image.open(infile) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 1888, in open fp = __builtin__.open(fp, "rb") IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'temp/fred.jpg' Richard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
