I am trying to verify a bytearray with Image.open
and Image.verify()
without writing it to disk first and then open it with im = Image.open()
. I looked at the .readfrombuffer()
and .readfromstring()
method, but there I need the size of the image (which I could only get when converting the bytestream to an image).
My Read-Function looks like this:
def readimage(path): bytes = bytearray() count = os.stat(path).st_size / 2 with open(path, "rb") as f: print "file opened" bytes = array('h') bytes.fromfile(f, count) return bytes
Then as a basic test I try to convert the bytearray to an image:
bytes = readimage(path+extension) im = Image.open(StringIO(bytes)) im.save(savepath)
If someone knows what I am doing wrong or if there is a more elegant way to convert those bytes into an image that'd really help me.
P.S.: I thought I need the bytearray because I do manipulations on the bytes (glitch them images). This did work, but I wanted to do it without writing it to disk and then opening the imagefile from the disk again to check if it is broken or not.
Edit: All it gives me is a IOError: cannot identify image file
