Open HTTP response objects with Image.open
 | 
						|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
HTTP response objects returned from ``urllib2.urlopen(url)`` or
 | 
						|
``requests.get(url, stream=True).raw`` are 'file-like' but do not support ``.seek()``
 | 
						|
operations. As a result PIL was unable to open them as images, requiring a wrap in
 | 
						|
``cStringIO`` or ``BytesIO``.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Now new functionality has been added to ``Image.open()`` by way of an ``.seek(0)`` check and
 | 
						|
catch on exception :py:exc:`AttributeError` or :py:exc:`io.UnsupportedOperation`. If this is caught we
 | 
						|
attempt to wrap the object using ``io.BytesIO`` (which will only work on buffer-file-like
 | 
						|
objects).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This allows opening of files using both ``urllib2`` and ``requests``, e.g.::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Image.open(urllib2.urlopen(url))
 | 
						|
    Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If the response uses content-encoding (compression, either gzip or deflate) then this
 | 
						|
will fail as both the urllib2 and requests raw file object will produce compressed data
 | 
						|
in that case. Using Content-Encoding on images is rather non-sensical as most images are
 | 
						|
already compressed, but it can still happen.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For requests the work-around is to set the decode_content attribute on the raw object to
 | 
						|
True::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    response = requests.get(url, stream=True)
 | 
						|
    response.raw.decode_content = True
 | 
						|
    image = Image.open(response.raw)
