PyUploadcare: a Python library for Uploadcare
The most important thing for us at Uploadcare is to make file uploading on the web really easy. Everyone is used to the routine work, related to allowing users upload their userpics or attach resumes: from installing image processing libraries to creating folder with right permissions to ensuring the server never goes down or out of space to enabling CDN. Feature like ability to simply use a picture from Facebook or manual cropping are much more burdensome, hence rare. Uploadcare's goal is to change the status quo.
This library consists of an API interface for Uploadcare and a couple of Django goodies.
A simple Uploadcare ImageField
can be added to an existing Django project
in just a couple of simple steps. As a result, your users
are going to be able to see the progress of the upload, choose files from
Google Drive or Instagram, and edit form while files are uploading
asynchornously.
from django.db import models
from pyuploadcare.dj import ImageField
class Candidate(models.Model):
photo = ImageField(blank=True, manual_crop="")
Features
- Django widget with useful manual crop and multiupload;
- ucare console utility;
- hosted assets (Kudos to Sławek Ehlert!).
