pyGravatar

This is a Python interface to Gravatar. It is very basic, but hopefully will be helpful to some people.

Installation

Install via pip

$ pip install pyGravatar

Usage

PyGravatar allows you to generate the URL for a gravatar, as well as retrieve the profile information stored online.

>>> from gravatar import Gravatar
>>> g = Gravatar('gridaphobe@gmail.com')
>>> g.thumb
'http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/16b87da510d278999c892cdbdd55c1b6?s=80&r=g'

>>> g.profile
{ long python dict of my info :) }

>>> g.emails
[{u'primary': u'true', u'value': u'gridaphobe@gmail.com'}]

You can also request a different size/rating thumbnail, use SSL, and change the default thumb for emails that aren't registered.

>>> g.size = 512 # the largest accepted
>>> g.rating = 'x'
>>> g.secure = True
>>> g.thumb
'https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/16b87da510d278999c892cdbdd55c1b6?s=512&r=x'

Or you can pack it all nicely into one line

>>> Gravatar('gridaphobe@gmail.com', secure=True, size=512, rating='x').thumb
'https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/16b87da510d278999c892cdbdd55c1b6?s=512&r=x'
