Image viewer in python

8:51am JST Thursday 25 May 2006 (day 13210)

Hmm. Python. I've just started looking into this as a viable option for writing my image thing.

I was up until 4am reading about Python on pages I had downloaded at the university. I'm nearly convinced it would be a good tool for the project.

But I gots to get more images off this HD before I dive into a new project. But here is my first bit of python code:

class Image:
      def __init__(self,name,w=0,h=0,tn=None,):
      	  self.name=name
	  self.dim=[`w`,`h`]
	  self.tn=tn
      def __str__(self):
      	  str = "Image:" + self.name + " - " + ':'.join(self.dim)
	  if self.tn:
	     str = str + " thumb: " + self.tn
	  else:
	     str = str + " thumb: none"
	  return str
      def thumb_src(self):
          str = '<img src="' + self.tn + '">'
	  return str
      def html_src(self):
          str = '<img src="' + self.name + '">'
	  if self.tn:
	     str = '<a href="' + self.name + '">' + self.thumb_src() + '</a>'
   	  return str

cat = Image('cat.jpg',100,50)
dog = Image('dog.jpg',100,50,'thumbs/dog.jpg')

print cat.html_src()
print dog.html_src()

Thing is, I'm not sure about the CGI interface. The examples I saw don't have the slick perl CGI module abilities. print CGI->header type stuff.

coppermine

8:58pm JST Thursday 25 May 2006 (day 13210)

I've installed Coppermine photo gallery thing, which looks Really Really good. However, I haven't set it up; just six pictures are available so far. It doesn't have a way to use the thousands of thumbnails that I've already got on my site. I'd rather not create all new thumbnails.

I haven't been able to figure out a way to organize the categories and albums the way my brain sees them, versus how they seem to be displayed by Coppermine.

I wonder how to construct a search to find an answer to my query.

zzz images

1:05am JST Friday 26 May 2006 (day 13211)

So super tired. Been reading Coppermine documentation, labeling photos, wondering if I want to use Coppermine; wondering how to speed up the batch upload process; wondering how to set up categories and albums.

Not logistically how, but conceptually how.

I fell asleep during the middle of that sentence. It's 1:09am now.

1:21am

(and then everything changed after I read "just one more window")

Curator looks nearly perfect. The description is just about exactly what I woulda written.

Only difference: it creates thumbnails on the fly. I will tweak it to look for thumbnails and create on the fly if necessary.

And it's written in Python, so it should be a fun intro to the language.
