This is a method I found to upload an image (into the uploads folder) and then create the thumbnail in the same directory. One good point is that Web2py allocates the filenames so everything can have authorization etc. It requires the Python Image Library installed.
If you benefit from web2py hope you feel encouraged to pay it forward by contributing back to society in whatever form you choose!

This slice used to work for me about a year ago, now it's not after I upgraded my web2py. Can anyone get this working with the latest web2py build?
It creates the thumbnail successfully and stores it in the uploads folder, but when you try to retrieve the thumbnail through the URL bar or the DB admin screen you get a ticket.
<type 'exceptions.TypeError'> Can't retrieve uploads.thumb.16e0d9fd-bc66-4b36-9c75-03aaea1d8603.PNG
Please help!
