Question

i use mongodb and save file to gridfs

now i want edit images from gridfs …

i use this code

def thumbnail(file_obj):
    import StringIO
    from PIL import Image

    im = StringIO.StringIO()

    im.write(file_obj.raw_file)

    im_ful = Image.open(im)

    return im_ful.info

but pil said “cannot identify image file”

thats image also 😉
how can fix it

Answer 1

You need an im.seek(0) before the Image.open(im) call. Otherwise PIL tries to read from the end of the file, gets no data, and fails.
