With the following snippets, you can get yourself:
- Image width/height
- Image mime type
- File size
So, the code snippet!
from PIL import Image
import urllib2
import cStringIO
import os
from stat import ST_SIZE
file = cStringIO.StringIO(urllib2.urlopen(image_url).read())
filename = "/tmp/file_%s.jpg" % datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%s")
image_info = Image.open(file)
image_info.save(filename)
file.close()
file_info = os.stat(filename)
filemime = "image/%s" % image_info.format.lower() # JPEG, PNG, GIF
width, height = image_info.size
filesize = file_info[ST_SIZE] From Doug Hellmann's blog:
The cStringIO version is written in C for speed, while StringIO is written in Python for portability.
Once you're done, remember to delete the temporary file.
os.remove(filename)
