What is it?
GallerPy is a fairly basic image gallery, written in Python. It started out as a rewrite of FredGallery, but faster, though it has now grown to include several new and wonderful features.
Features
- Simple operation. Just put the files in your gallery directory and away you go. If you don't like the default options, change them. If you don't like the colours, change the CSS. If you don't like the layout, edit the kinda-understandable template!
- No databases, no messing about. Just make sub-directories, put images in them, and everything is done automatically.
- Fluid CSS layout! Instead of using tables for the thumbnail display, it uses CSS boxes, which means that your web browser SHOULD try and fit as many images per line as it can (tested with IE5/6 and Mozilla).
- SCGI support. No more spawning a new Python process for every page hit, now we enter the realm of Really Freaking Fast Image Galleries.
- GZIP encoding support. Every little bit helps, right?
- Generates valid XHTML 1.1/CSS. Web standards are our friends!
Requirements
- Python 2.2 or newer
- Python Imaging Library
- Psyco (optional, minor speedup for large directories)
Installation
- Read the INSTALL (and maybe INSTALL_SCGI) file in the distribution.
