[Zope] PIL and Filesystem

[Phillip Crumpler]

You can make a pretend file-like object with the python module StringIO.
Look in the Photo product for an example of this or try a snippet I did this
morning:

        from cStringIO import StringIO

        # construct and upload a thumbnail
        fd.seek(0)
        im = PIL.Image.open(fd)
        im.thumbnail(thumb_size)
        outFile = StringIO()
        im.save(outFile, thumb_format, quality=thumb_quality)
        outFile.seek(0)
        self.thumb.manage_upload(outFile)
        self.thumb.manage_changeProperties(title=self.title or self.id)

cheers,

.flip.
