Hi all! I'm still trying to get this to work, so I'm going to try the lists for assistance again. TIA!!! I am working on a project using zope and reportlab. The goal is to have uploaded images end up in a formatted PDF file. I have both of these halves completed, I need to figure out how to connect them. I have been using SquishFile.py as the wrapper around uploaded images, as is done in squishdot. The few image types I have tried have displayed fine on screen, but PIL/Reportlab is not able to recognise the image. I know how to get an image into reportlab from the filesystem, but is there a way to use one that is in the Zodb? How would you go about wrapping the file in a PIL.Image() ? I've been trying things similar to: cardimage=PIL.Image.open(self.uploadedimage) c.drawInlineImage(cardimage, 1,1) This gives an error in reportlab.canvas.convert() I tried using PIL.image.fromstring(), but I can't quite get it to work out: filebytes=[str(self.uploadedimage.file_bytes()), 'bytes'] cardimage=PIL.Image.fromstring(self.uploadedimage.content_type(), filebytes, self.uploadedimage.file_data()) c.drawInlineImage(cardimage, 1,1) This gives a typeerror: PIL/Image.py, line 848, in new has anyone succesfully done this? can I just Leave the SquishFile wrapper off if it is ONLY going to be images that get uploaded? Thanks for any ideas! -ed- _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
