Experimenting with storing and retrieving images encoded as binary data in MongoDB using Python

What it does

Gets Facebook profile pictures of logged in user's friends using the Graph API, stores them as binary data in MongoDB, retrieves them and puts them up in a webpage using flask

Note:

Apparently storing images as binary is a terrible practice. Then again, this was just a simple attempt at getting to use MongoDB with puthon
