How to obtain image size using standard Python class (without using external library)?

Question

I am using Python 2.5. And using the standard classes from Python, I want to determine the image size of a file.

I\'ve heard PIL (Python Image Library), but it requi

Answer 1

That code does accomplish 2 things:

• Getting the image dimension

• Find the real EOF of a jpg file

Well when googling I was more interest in the later one. The task was to cut out a jpg file from a datastream. Since I I didn't find any way to use Pythons 'image' to a way to get the EOF of so jpg-File I made up this.

Interesting things /changes/notes in this sample:

• extending the normal Python file class with the method uInt16 making source code better readable and maintainable. Messing around with struct.unpack() quickly makes code to look ugly

• Replaced read over'uninteresting' areas/chunk with seek

• Incase you just like to get the dimensions you may remove the line:

  hasChunk = ord(byte) not in range( 0xD0, 0xDA) + [0x00] 
  

  ->since that only get's important when reading over the image data chunk and comment in

  #break
  

  to stop reading as soon as the dimension were found. ...but smile what I'm telling - you're the Coder ;)
