Package: jpegtran-cffi-wheels
jpegtran-cffi is a Python package for fast JPEG transformations.  Compared to
other, more general purpose image processing libraries likewand-pyorPIL/Pillow, transformations are generally more than twice as fast (seeBenchmarks). In addition, all operations except for scaling are lossless,
since the image is not being re-compressed in the process. This is due to the
fact that all transformation operations work directly with the JPEG data.This is achieved by using multiple C routines from the Enlightenment project’sepeg library(for scaling) and theturbojpeglibrary from thelibjpeg-turboproject (for all other operations). These routines are called
from Python through theCFFImodule, i.e. no external processes are
launched.The package also includes rudimentary support for getting and setting the EXIF
orientation tag, automatically transforming the image according to it and
obtaining the JFIF thumbnail image.jpegtran-cffi was developed as part of a web interface for thespreadsproject, where a large number of images from digital cameras had to be prepared
for display by a Raspberry Pi. With the Pi’s rather slow ARMv6 processor, both
Wand and PIL were too slow to be usable.RequirementsCPython >=2.7 or >=3.5 or PyPycffi >= 1.0libturbojpeg with headersInstallation$ pip install jpegtran-cffiNoteThere is a bug in some Ubuntu versions of thelibturbojpegpackage
that prevents the package from installing correctly. If you get the
errorrelocation R_X86_64_32 against .data can not beused..., please
perform the following command:sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libturbojpeg.so.0.1.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libturbojpeg.soUsagefrom jpegtran import JPEGImage

img = JPEGImage('image.jpg')

# JPEGImage can also be initialized from a bytestring
blob = requests.get("http://example.com/image.jpg").content
from_blob = JPEGImage(blob=blob)

# Reading various image parameters
print img.width, img.height  # "640 480"
print img.exif_orientation  # "1" (= "normal")

# If present, the JFIF thumbnail can be obtained as a bytestring
thumb = img.exif_thumbnail

# Transforming the image
img.downscale(320, 240).save('scaled.jpg')
img.rotate(90).save('rotated.jpg')
img.crop(0, 0, 100, 100).save('cropped.jpg')

# Transformations can be chained
data = (img.downscale(320, 240)
            .rotate(90)
            .flip('horizontal')
            .as_blob())

# jpegtran can transform the image automatically according to the EXIF
# orientation tag
photo = JPEGImage(blob=requests.get("http://example.com/photo.jpg").content)
print photo.exif_orientation  # "6" (= 270°)
print photo.width, photo.height # "4320 3240"
corrected = photo.exif_autotransform()
print corrected.exif_orientation  # "1" (= "normal")
print corrected.width, corrected.height  # "3240 4320"For more details, refer to theAPI Reference.BenchmarksAll operations were done on a 3.4GHz i7-3770 with 16GiB of RAM and a 7200rpm

for wand-py this meant usingImage.sampleinstead ofImage.resizeand for PIL the nearest-neighbour filter was used for theImage.resizecall.Benchmark source:https://gist.github.com/jbaiter/8596064LicenseThe MIT License (MIT)Copyright (c) 2014 Johannes Baiter <johannes.baiter@gmail.com>Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of
