I don't feel so...
Your create_image.py does not return anything to the
browser yet.
Yes, I am aware of that but I do not what to return.
First return proper HTTP headers, e.g.
sys.stdout.write('Status: 200 OK\r\n')
sys.stdout.write('Content-type: image/gif\r\n')
sys.stdout.write('\r\n')
Ok, but if possible I'd rather not return anything HTTP/HTML-related from my
create_image.py file.
Then check the PIL docs to find out, how to output the image to sys.stdout
(instead of writing to a file).
Ok, then I get this:
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw
import sys
im = Image.new("P", (600, 400))
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(im)
draw.rectangle((0, 0) + im.size, fill="blue")
sys.stdout.write('Status: 200 OK\r\n')
sys.stdout.write('Content-type: image/gif\r\n')
sys.stdout.write('\r\n')
im.save(sys.stdout, "GIF")
But this does not work.
I also tested to skip the HTTP-header stuff and just write the gif to
sys.stdout, believing that that would work. But not so...
Hmm, I'm a newbie to Python (as you already probably have noticed ;-) so I
don't know what else I should try. Any hints are welcome!
