Squeak-like environment for Python?
I've been playing with Squeak a bit and I really like the persistent storage model, I also liked HyperCard and Frontier (well, the persistent storage model at least). I wonder if there is some similar environment but based on python, I would like to use this environment not as a development environment but as a platform for storing data etc - much like HyperCard. I found a few postings about such an environment: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/edu-sig/2006-April/006226.html but it looks like nothing happened. pythoncard doesn't seem to have the persistent storage model Have I missed something obvious? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Photo gallery software
I've searching for some software that would allow me to present my photos on the web (I'm not interested a software that generates static pages that I upload) and there are quite a few, see for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_photo_gallery_software, but I haven't managed to find one that I like - Gallery 2 is close. So I've started to see if there is one that is based python (PHP isn't really my language) but when I search on Google almost the only thing I find are photo galleries of snakes (to be honest I didn't know that people were *that* interested in pythons). Do any anyone know if there exists photo gallery software written in Python? I've found http://www.amk.ca/python/code/gallery http://www.developer.com/lang/other/article.php/3734416 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

PIL and IPTC
I'm completely new to PIL and I'm trying to read IPTC info, I understand that it's possible but I can't find out how (and for once Google doesn't seem to be able to help). Does anyone have an example of how it's done? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Image handling - stupid question
I'm going to try to write some imange manipulation code (scaling, reading EXIF and IPTC info) and just want to ask if PIL is *THE* library to use? I looked at http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ and noticed that the latest version is from Dec 2006. In my experience that means that either it's abandoned or that it's very good and stable. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Documentation - which format
I'm considering using plain text file for documenting certain things (nothing to do with Python) and I'm looking at different formatting systems ... preferable with a python implementation to render the text at least as HTML - preferable also other formats like LaTeX. So far I've found + Markdown + reST (the web site at sourceforge doesn't seem to have been updated since 2006) Are there any other I should look at? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Serving images
I'm no web programmer so please be kind. I'm just going to start writing a small web app, it's very small and will only do one thing so I'm not going to use some kind of web framework. The purpose of the script is to do some custom markup of markdown formatted pages, render them and send them back to the browser. This is fairly simple and I've done similar things before but this time I'm going to add support for handling images. Before I've just placed the images on a server where the script didn't need to bother about it. Now I'm considering to let the script handle the images also, that is serve them to the browser when requested. I've tried two different approaches in other scripts: + Put them somewhere outside the scope of the script and link to them. + In my own code open the images, read the data and send it back (is there a library for this?). Before deciding on how to handle this for this script I would like to ask: how is this best done? Is there a better way? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
