I missed the OP's message, but how about something like this:

from cStringIO import StringIO
import Image
import sys

tmp = StringIO()
img = Image.open("/path/to/my/image.jpg")
img.thumbnail(img, (100, 100))
img.save(tmp, "JPEG", quality=70)
tmp = tmp.getvalue(tmp.seek(0))
sys.stdout.write("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\nConnection: Close\nContent-type: 
image/jpeg\nContent-length: %d\n\n%s" % (int(len(tmp)), tmp)


I used something similar to the above in a thumbnailing project I did a 
while ago.
