Simple HTML Gallery generator

Yet another script to make HTML galleries.

Recently, I got a digital camera, Nikon Coolpix 2500. I wanted to make a simple, quick way to post the pictures on the web. For some time, I toyed with many free options available out there. In the end, getting inspiration from Jeremy Zawodny I wrote a couple of scripts in Python to do this.

The results can be seen as photographs from Orlando vacation and DC Autoshow.

chocolates The code, with minimum, absolutely minimum, documentation is available in CVS. First, the photos are resized and then HTML page is created. Both these scripts need excellent Image Magick command line utilities in the path.

Titles and description information are generated from a YAML file (example).

I’m teaching Python to my wife. I enjoy teaching. She seems to immensely like the language. We are planning to take these scripts as an exercise and improve it slowly.
