returning images in python

Question

can a function return an image file and, if yes, how do you do it?

I’ve tried normally returning it (return and then the image file name)but it didn’t work.

Answer 1

Depends on what you want to do with it.

If you want image bytes :

with open("filepath/filename","rb") as f:
image=f.read()
return image

But you might not know what to do with that. There is a library called Pillow which handles images well, you'll want to :

from PIL import Image

def function(imagePath):
img=Image.open(imagePath)
return Image

These won't really be possible on SoloLearn (the first example could if you set it up correctly by writing the image file).

Your question is a bit vague so let me know if my awnsers are unrelated.
