Answer 1

you can use PIL for processing images . http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/

Answer 2

Here is a small snippet from one of my web applications (sightly modified), which creates a thumbnail with the maximum size of 200x200 pixels. Maybe you can use some parts of it:

from PIL import Image

image = request.FILES['new_photo']
if image:
    img = Image.open(image)
    img.save(path.join(app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'],
        secure_filename('upload-%d.jpg' % self.obj.id)), 'JPEG')
    img.thumbnail((200, 200), Image.ANTIALIAS)
    img.save(path.join(app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'],
        secure_filename('upload-%d.200.jpg' % self.obj.id)), 'JPEG')

User one of the thumbnail libraries available such as http://djangothumbnails.com/ or more http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/ThumbNails
