will each sequentially handle a large number of those requests. What I am really asking is: Are there python web frameworks that scale with hardware and how do they handle scaling? Please don't read this as "Python sucks, everyone should program in machine language expressed as binary nu

Isn't PIL best suited for things like this? The resize function should do what you're looking for: http://www.pythonware.com/library/pil/handbook/image.htm On Wed, Apr 2, 2008 at 6:59 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Apr 1, 9:44 pm, Jimmy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, everyone > > > >

Hi, everyone I am using Pygame to write a small program. I tried to load a .jpg picture into the screen, however, the size of the pic doesn't fit into the window properly. Can anyone tell me how to scale the picture into the window? thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

hi, IDL language contains a function called BYTSCL to scale all values of Array that lie in the range (Min £ x £ Max) into the range (0 £ x £ Top). Is there a similar function available in python? I need this to scale the pixel values of an image using PIL. thanks in advance for any help AGK
