Putting together comments and updates for Python 3+

from io import BytesIO
from django.core.files.base import ContentFile
import requests

# Read a file in

r = request.get(image_url)
image = r.content
scr = Image.open(BytesIO(image))

# Perform an image operation like resize:

width, height = scr.size
new_width = 320
new_height = int(new_width * height / width)
img = scr.resize((new_width, new_height))

# Get the Django file object

thumb_io = BytesIO()
img.save(thumb_io, format='JPEG')
photo_smaller = ContentFile(thumb_io.getvalue())
