Perl To Python

Converting a perl script to python so it can run on Google Cloud. The perl script is 770 lines long and handles the uploading of low res images from a a user\\\'s browser to a website, and the inserting of related info to a MySql database. Here is a script summary: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- # the script performs the following actions: # # 1. define perl modules to use # 2. make database connection # 3. declare variables # 4. ensure correct working directory structure # 5. get general form data from calling webpage # 6. update sources table if any of the flags have been changed # 7. read through each file form data (up to $max_num_files) # 7.1 read form data for a file # 7.2 update variables according to logical flags from form or specific source id\\\'s # 7.3 update sources original format if needed # 7.4 process each filename that has been passed in the form # 7.4.1 parse filename and check for invalid characters # 7.4.2 upload file to image server # 7.4.3 get IPTC data if required # 7.4.4 get values for uploaded image (height, width, size, format) # 7.4.5 evaluate ratio for database and update keywords # 7.4.6 remove extraneous text from title and keywords # 7.4.7 check if image is already in the database # 7.4.7.1 add image to database # 7.4.7.2 OR update image in database # 7.4.8 if in reply to a request, add to images_requests table # 8. disconnect database # 9. call script to create watermarks and thumbnails # 10. display upload results as a webpage ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- If we are happy with the resulting work, there will be quite a few more perl to python script conversions required, and also likely to be ongoing new development work available as well.
