I think I should have been a little more specific. I have a process that
takes a bunch of photos and stores them 'as taken' in .JPG format. I read
them from the database like this:
>>> cur.execute("select * from photosTMP")
>>> result = cur.fetch()
>>> for each in result:
recno = each[0]
img[counter] = each[1].tostring()
counter += 1
.. do something ..
>>> for photoNum in range(0,4):
cur.execute("insert into photo(check_transactionKEY, photo)
values(%s, %s)", (photoNum, img[photoNum] )
Now, I want to do something to them. Resize them to 320x240, make them
grayscale. Possibly a rotation. After doing what I want to do, I want to
insert them into another table for permanent storage. However, at this
point, they seem to have lost their .JPG formatting. That's what I wrote
about before. I _don't_ want to save them to a file. Rather I want to
insert the image into the database. If I insert the img object, isn't that
the PIL object, rather than just the image? I'd really like to be able to
put the image-only in.
I guess I could img.save(file, 'jpg') and then read the file and then insert
it, but that seems to be a particularly in-elegant way to do it.
If someone could assist, I'd really appreciate it.
