Hey All
I'm wondering if anyone has a module that will generate the randomized images that are so common these days in registration forms to verify that the user is a human. Or, alternativly, other strategies to block spamming of registration forms by bots or other automated methods.
Search the list - this came up before. I recall pycaptcha http://sourceforge.net/projects/pycaptcha http://freshmeat.net/projects/pycaptcha/
IIRC, when I downloaded it I ran into some problems running it. Indeed, the demo site for it has an ImportError.

I'd use Python Imaging Library or PythonMagick to create some random text and apply some filters on it. http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ http://starship.python.net/crew/zack/pymagick/ /JM
