This snippet creates thumbnails on-demand from a ImageField with any size using dynamics methods, like get_photo_80x80_url or get_photo_640x480_filename, etc.

It assumes you have an ImageField in your Model called photo and have this in your models.py:

import re

from os import path
from PIL import Image

GET_THUMB_PATTERN = re.compile(r'^get_photo_(\d+)x(\d+)_(url|filename)$')

models.py example:

import re

from os import path
from PIL import Image
from django.db import models

GET_THUMB_PATTERN = re.compile(r'^get_photo_(\d+)x(\d+)_(url|filename)$')

class Photo(models.Model):
    photo = models.ImageField(upload_to='photos/%Y/%m/%d')

    <snippet here>

Example usage:

>>> photo = Photo(photo="/tmp/test.jpg")
>>> photo.save()
>>> photo.get_photo_80x80_url()
u"http://media.example.net/photos/2008/02/26/test_80x80.jpg"
>>> photo.get_photo_80x80_filename()
u"/srv/media/photos/2008/02/26/test_80x80.jpg"
>>> photo.get_photo_64x64_url()
u"http://media.example.net/photos/2008/02/26/test_64x64.jpg"
>>> photo.get_photo_64x64_filename()
u"/srv/media/photos/2008/02/26/test_64x64.jpg"

Fixed a bug:

<<<    size = width, height
>>>    size = int(width), int(height)

Nice, I can see this coming in very handy and it's a lot more straightforward than I expected it to be (a testament to the very powerful features and libraries of Python).

Is it possible to make it delete the generated images if the parent field is edited or deleted?

In order to automatically clean up old thumbs when a new picture is saved:

def save(self):
    # Delete thumbnails
    import glob, os
    file, ext = path.splitext(self.get_image_filename())
    pattern = file.rstrip("_") + "*x*" + ext
    thumbs = glob.glob(pattern)
    for thumb in thumbs:
        print thumb
        os.remove(thumb)

    super(GalleryImage, self).save()
