Re: [Tutor] Image manipluation (On-the-fly thumbnail creation)
Patrick Sabin wrote: When I needed thumbnails of my images, I created them using ImageMagick. ImageMagick is a very nice tool for editing images and since it is called from the command line it is easy to invoke it from a programming language. There are python-bindings for it, but I think they are not very actively maintained and so I wouldn't use them. Using PIL is another option and maybe more pythonic, but if you are familiar with ImageMagick it might be a good alternative. - Patrick My experiences with ImageMagick (IM) are limited, but what experiences I have had have been good. The functionality of IM is superb, and that is the impetus for wanting to use it over other softwares/libraries. Ultimately, I want to use IM/Python to replicate something I did in GD/PHP. Using GD/PHP I was able to create thumbnails on-demand that I could output directly to the browser, rather than creating saving thumbnails to the disk. Is this possible with IM/Python? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Image-manipluation-%28On-the-fly-thumbnail-creation%29-tp25456792p25514113.html Sent from the Python - tutor mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] Image manipluation (On-the-fly thumbnail creation)
I've recently delved into python, about a week or so ago; I'm trying to figure out how to create on-the-fly thumbnails. Are there python standard library modules I could/should use or should I use external libraries like: GD, Gimp, or ImageMagick? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Image-manipluation-%28On-the-fly-thumbnail-creation%29-tp25456792p25456792.html Sent from the Python - tutor mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] Help deciding between python and ruby
I'd like to learn a programming language - and I need help deciding between python and ruby. I'm interesting in learning what are the difference, both objective and subjective, between the two languages. I know this is a python mailing list, so knowledge/experience with ruby may be limited - in which case I'd still be interested in learning why members of this mailing list chose python over (or in addition to) any other programming language. I look forward to the feedback/insight. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Help-deciding-between-python-and-ruby-tp25294195p25294195.html Sent from the Python - tutor mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
