All,
First, I think this is a wonderful list. I always see great advice and
great attitudes about helping.
My post is not about evaluating code but instead trying to get a
reasonable judgment as to whether or not python is the best choice for
what I am trying to do. I have not learned Python yet. In point of
fact, I have not, as yet learned any programming language much to my
dismay.
I post the process I need below.
So, here goes the work flow I need to support on my job.
- Person goes to a web page.
- The page allows them to retrieve a file from their local hard
drive.
- They make one or two selections with check boxes or drop lists
that define things about image resolution and preferences.
- They enter their E-Mail address to allow the resultant file to be
sent back to them.
- They submit the graphics file (TIFF image) along with the
selections and the file is uploaded.
- The code on the server drops the file in a directory created from
the submitted file name.
- The Python code (cgi script?) calls another application (server
resident) that performs processing on the graphics file.
- The original file, a processed "proof" file and a raw bitmap file
are stored back in the created directory.
- The resultant proof file is sent back to them in an E-Mail
message for their approval.
- The person would then go back to another page and "OK" the file
and then the processed image would be sent to yet another E-Mail
address.
Does anyone see a problem with Python doing this? Also, from my
knowledge position in programming and in Python (zero), should I
attempt this?
Thanks, Best Regards, and keep up the great work,
Ralph
