Had some troubles finding what seemed to be such an easy Google search. Needed the capability to load an image based on a url. Here is my solution:
import urllib2 as urllib from PIL import Image from cStringIO import StringIO img_file = urllib.urlopen(self.image.url) im = StringIO(img_file.read()) resized_image = Image.open(im)
Nice,
Worked like a charm! I also discovered the difference between:
import StringIO vs. from cStringIO import StringIO
I was actually grabbing an image from S3 and was about to invoke the S3 library “get” when I saw this post. Right of course, my S3 images are public so why not just use urllib2.
Thanks for making me think outside the box.

Great, thanks for sharing this.
