Hi. I run a website for my band, and the other guys want an image gallery. I'm thinking it would be nice and easy, if we could just upload a jpg into a dir called "gallery/". When the client clicks the "gallery" link, a cgi script could search the gallery/ dir, and create thumbnails of any jpeg images that don't already have a thumbnail associated with them. The script could then generate a page of clickable thumbnails.
A few questions: (1) Can this be done with python? If so, what module do I need to look up? (2) If it can't be done with python, is there some small utility that will do it for me? Something I could easily install locally in my own "public_html" dir on my website? (3) Is this the sort of thing which, if done regularly, would hog far far too much of my webhosts system resources? (4) Am I talking about re inventing the wheel? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
