Running a PIL based Python program as a web application

Question

I have created a Python Program that converts strings into images at run time , using PIL's Image Draw module.

I want to run this program interfaced with a simple web form that should display a text field to input the string and on pressing a button , it should display the string converted as an image.

Would be a great deal of help if one could precisely guide me as to how i can go about and achieve this ?

PS:I have downloaded the Python Web Module as of now and im currently exploring it, just in case that helps.

Answer 2

I would suggest using web.py from http://webpy.org/. It is an excellent micro-framework for doing simple or one-off web apps.

Do your image creator write files or return streams? Anyway, web.py can return both files and stream large files to the browser. See http://webpy.org/images for an example on how to set headers based on content type.

If you are planning on writing a larger web app, maybe you should look into Turbogears, Pylons or Django.
