Is there a way to install Pythonista’s photo module in other Python environments? I cant find it with pip.

Thanks,

Inzel

I decided to clean it up a bit and use some functions. I havent added my comments yet but here is a fully working solution:

import photos
import requests
import io
import base64
import json

img = photos.capture_image()

def getPhoto():
    with io.BytesIO() as output:
        img.save(output, 'JPEG')
        contents = output.getvalue()
        image = base64.b64encode(contents)  
    return image

def enrollPhoto():
    subject_id = raw_input("Hello, What is your name: ? ")
    print("Thank you " + subject_id + "." + " Analyzing...")
    image = getPhoto()
    url = "https://api.kairos.com/enroll"
    values = {
        'image': image,
        'subject_id': subject_id,
        'gallery_name': subject_id
    }
    headers = {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'app_id': '***********',
        'app_key': '****************************'
    }   
    r = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(values), headers = headers)
    parsed_json = json.loads(r.content)
    attr = parsed_json['images'][0]['attributes']
    img.show()
    print(json.dumps(attr, indent=2))

enrollPhoto()

Just need to put in your actual app_id and app_key. Should work right away. My next step will be getting a simple interface built and then comparing the pic of the user to existing pics of the same user to determine whether or not they gain access. Something like that anyways. Turned out to be a fun endeavor!

I got it to work!

import photos
import requests
import io
import base64
import json

with io.BytesIO() as output:
    img = photos.capture_image()
    img.save(output,'JPEG')
    contents = output.getvalue()
    image = base64.b64encode(contents)
    
url = "https://api.kairos.com/enroll"

values = {
    'image': image,
    'subject_id': 'test',
    'gallery_name': 'test'
}

headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'app_id': '*********',
    'app_key': '*************************'
}

request = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(values), headers=headers)
response = request.content

print(response)```

Thanks everyone!

Ah perfect. That part works now.

with io.BytesIO() as output:
    img = photos.capture_image()
    img.save(output,'JPEG')
    contents = output.getvalue()
    image = base64.b64encode(contents)

I feel we are very close. I believe the final step now is determining the proper syntax to POST the payload. This would be much easier if I was able to use wireshark or another packet capture tool to see how the POST looks as its being sent but I cant do that on my iPad. This is what I am trying for my payload line but the syntax is incorrect:

payload = '{'"image": + image + "',"' + '\n' + '"subject_id": "test" + ","' + '\n' + '"gallery_name": "test"'}'

I need it to look like this when its sent:

{
“image”: image,
“subject_id”: “test”,
“gallery_name”:”test”
}

My apologies for all the new guy questions. I really appreciate all the help you guys have provided me so far. Im learning...

@cvp

I tried that as well as:

img.save(output, format = ‘JPG’)

And I get errors each time:

img.save(output, ‘JPG’) :

Traceback (most recent call last):

save_handler = SAVE[format.upper()]
KeyError: 'JPG'

img.save(output, format = ‘JPG’) :

save_handler = SAVE[format.upper()]
KeyError: 'JPG'

Maybe my syntax is wrong?

@cvp Thanks! I will look in to that as well

I am trying to use bytesio and base64 but cant get past the img.save line:

import photos
import requests
import io
import base64

#img = photos.capture_image()

with io.BytesIO() as output:
    img = photos.capture_image()
    img.save(output)
    contents = output.getvalue()
    image = base64.b64encode(contents)

url = "https://api.kairos.com/enroll```

Error is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/2D8E43AB-E263-4AE8-9F57-E62CCC11779D/Pythonista3/Documents/Kairos/kairos_upload.py", line 10, in <module>
    img.save(output)
  File "/var/containers/Bundle/Application/3C9A09E3-8A1E-49E7-956B-A8E46A817D5A/Pythonista3.app/Frameworks/Py2Kit.framework/pylib/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 1697, in save
    format = EXTENSION[ext]
KeyError

Appears that the save function requires me to have an extension. I then tried another angle and am getting a new error:

img = photos.capture_image()
contents = io.BytesIO(img)
binary_data = contents.getvalue()
image = base64.b64encode(binary_data)```

Error is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/2D8E43AB-E263-4AE8-9F57-E62CCC11779D/Pythonista3/Documents/Kairos/kairos_upload.py", line 8, in <module>
contents = io.BytesIO(img)
TypeError: 'Image' does not have the buffer interface

@JonB

Thanks for the info. I have tried both of those but will again and post my results.

Thanks!

@mikael

The code is basically what I put in my original post. I have tried many many different things but havent been saving my code each time as I havent fully understood the modules. I guess I should just comment it all out in the future instead of deleting it. My main question is how I could take the image obtained from photos.capture_image() and then base64 encode it and send it in POST data.

If you have any thoughts on that I would love to hear about it :) Or if you have any thoughts on another way of accomplising the same task that would be great as well.

Thank you in advance!

Those are all great ideas @reticulated!
