Engal photo gallery

09 Jul 2006

I've been taking it a bit easy the last two weeks, hacking an hour or two a day on a photo gallery using TurboGears. I'd forgotten how enjoyable it was to use Python, and hopefully that will recharge me a bit after so much soul-sapping PHP. Anyway, here's what about 250 lines of Python code and 300 lines of Kid templates can get you.

The front page shows you the users on the gallery.

After choosing a user, you get a list of sets of photos they have.

Choosing a set lists all the photos in the list,

Choosing a photo gives you a larger-scale version of the photo and more information about it.

And just for fun, editing a photo doesn't mean you have to leave to another page.

    Cool thing, would you mind making the source available?

    Nice. I'd love to use a decent Python based Gallery replacement. Cool dog, btw.

    I'll be uploading it to the Cheese Shop in the next day or two. Still missing some functionality (like adding users) - I just used catwalk. to get myself started.'

    Very nice photo gallery. Thanks for posting it. I am converting it to TAL and a Plone product.

Hi, I'm Neil Blakey-Milner, a technology generalist most interested by open source, security, and building scalable systems (especially if I get to use the Python programming language).

I "work" at the incredibly fun web-sites-for-everyone startup SynthaSite based in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa.

What I do

  • StarCamp

    I was the main instigator behind this 2-day unconference in December 2007 in Cape Town. There'll be another one in Cape Town around July.

  • GeekDinner

    I help out in making these geek social events happen every two months in Cape Town since March 2007.

  • SynthaSite

    I make sure that the systems run smoothly at this Cape Town-born Web 2.0 startup.

  • Presentations

    I speak publically on a number of topics - generally related to technical aspects of open source software or on software development.

  • Code

    I've written a few software projects of my own over the years (although mostly I'm the only user of them).

  • Photos

    I'm far from an artist, but I enjoy capturing my experiences on camera.
