Hello,
I've had nothing but problems getting this to work so i'll just
describe what i want to do and maybe someone here could help me out:

1) Get images uploaded via the method describe in the upload with
progressbar tutorial in the rough-docs
2) write image into a StringIO or similar
3) write a copy into the database
4) make a thumbnail via PIL
5) save thumbnail into database

Now so far i've been getting nothing but errors so i think i've been
on the wrong track. Could someone just quickly list what objects to
use in this process is StringIO the way to go? The code is here below.
imageObject is just an Int. I've been getting decoding errors about
character not being in ascii range which i assume is because it tries
to decode the stringIO object, how do i tell it that it contains
binary data?

Thanks a lot
Fabian
