Image gallery built with the Pylons web framework

PyGall

About PyGall

PyGall is a web photo gallery written in Python and built on the Pylons web framework.

PyGall is written by Bruno Binet and is licensed under a BSD permissive license.

Features

PyGall currently provides the following features:

• Upload photos either through the browser or manually on your webserver (scp, ftp, …).

• Import photos in the gallery: they are automatically scaled and rotated using exif informations. If using F-Spot as your personal photo management desktop application, PyGall can automatically import photos from F-Spot.

• Browse and view photos through a nice interface borrowed from Galleria.

Install

You should have a working setuptools (or distribute) environment. I advise you to use virtualenv to create an isolated Python environment.

You can install PyGall with the following command:

$ easy_install PyGall

PyGall is now installed. Let’s create a configuration file for you PyGall photo gallery:

$ paster make-config PyGall pygall.ini

The newly created pygall.ini file will be used by Paster to initialize the application, create the database, and serve your application.

So you need to create the database:

$ paster setup-app pygall.ini#pygall

And finally, you can serve your PyGall application:

$ paster serve pygall.ini

That’s all, you can point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:5000 and start using PyGall. You’re ready to import your first photos!
