I've written up a little script ([[gallery.py]]) to generate HTML
galleries of my pictures.  There are tons of scripts to do this, but
this one's mine ;).  It uses [ImageMagick][]'s [mogrify][] to generate
thumbnails and supports per-picture captions via similarly named
caption files (e.g. `some-pic.jpg.txt` contains the caption for
`some-pic.jpg`).

You'll probably want to tweak the script to create appropriate header
or footer code for your particular site.  Perhaps I'll convert the
script to use [jinja2][] in the future.

The original script generated static HTML inside the image direcories.
This worked fine, but I don't run a high-traffic site, so keeping the
gallery up to date was more trouble than it was worth.  I've upgraded
my script (versions >0.4) to run via [[CGI]].  Versions >0.5 can
optionally run via [[SCGI]].  Now the gallery updates itself on the
fly when I add new pictures.
