Hello, I try to write a python application with wx that shows images from a MySQL database. I use the following code to connect and get data when some event was triggered:
dbconn = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost", user="...", passwd="...", db="images") dbcurs = dbconn.cursor() dbcurs.execute("""SELECT imgdata FROM images LIMIT 1""") imgstring = dbcurs.fetchone()[0] frame.showImage(imgstring) Within my frame, the following method is defined: def showImage(self, imgstring): imgdata = StringIO.StringIO() imgdata.write(imgstring) print imgdata.getvalue() wx.ImageFromStream(imgdata, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_GIF) panel = wx.Panel(self, -1) self.panel = panel But this does not work. The converter says that the data is not valid GIF. When I print the content of imgstring after the database select statement, it contains something like this: array('c', 'GIF89aL\x01=\x01\x85\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xff\xff\xff \x00\xff\xff\xff[...]\x00\x00;') When I try to print imgstring[1], the result is "I". So I don't quite get what this print result is about and why my input should not be valid. The data in the database is correct, I can restore the image with tools like the MySQL Query Browser.
