django_rackspace_thumbnail

A simple django app to generate thumbnails for image files stored via django_cumulus

This app was created because easy_thumbnails lacked support for django 1.2, but it works well for all versions of django. It alsp supports temp_urls, and it's very quick. We make use of django's default cache if available, and we only perform remote api calls when the thumbnail gets generated.
