Recently I have been working in Image Processing using Python. So I am posting my about what I learn during my work. You can also find the complete notebooks at  https://github.com/opnchaudhary/python-notebooks . I will  be doing the basic operations related to Image manipulation. For your better understanding I have put comments in each lines. Lets get started: import Image #import Image library img=Image.open('image.png') #load an image using the Image library print img.format,img.size,img.mode #print the format,size and mode img.show()#display the image This is a very simple example which opens the image file, 'image.png' and prints the format, size and mode of the image. The last line displays the image. The following is the sample Image I used in my tests. Another example to convert image formats: import Image #import Image library img=Image.open('image.png') #load an image using the Image libary img.save('newimage.jpg',"JPEG")#save the i...

Here in this post, I am not going to write about any python tutorials or tips and tricks but share you my python notebook repository. I have tried to document the notebooks with few words and more descriptive. However I would like to hear your feedback and suggestion. You can find my notebook at https://github.com/opnchaudhary/python-notebooks . Installation instructions is in the README.md file in the repository. Hope you find that useful.

In this post, you'll see how we can use ftplib to upload files to a ftp server. In the following example, 'import ftplib' imports the ftp module. session = ftplib.FTP('example.com','username','password')  makes a ftp connection to the ftp server with the specified ftp server with the supplied username/password. file=open('cup.mp4','rb') opens the cup.mp4 file. And then session.storbinary('STOR cup.mp4',file) uploads the file to ftp server.Finally we close the file with file.close() and then close the session session.quit()
