<H3>Function store_image_inventory - Save a dictionary listing all image objects to a file.</H3>
<HR>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>
<PRE>import HTMLutil</PRE>
<PRE>def store_image_inventory(directory=os.curdir, file='images.pkl', prefix=None)</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<P>The dictionary containing all Image objects derived from a
given directory can be saved either as a pickle file to preserve
the Image objects or as string HTML representations savable in a
marshaled form for performance. Which form happens is a function
of the file suffix given as the second argument. If it ends in ".mar"
then the Image objects are flattened into plain strings and saved
as a marshal file. Any other suffix, including the default ".pkl"
will save the dictionary of objects as a pickle file. Note: the
marshal form is about two orders of magnitude faster when fetching
this dictionary.</P>
<H3>Arguments</H3>
<DL>
<DT><B> directory</B><DD>Directory to generate Image objects from and
store the resulting dictionary into.
<DT><B> file</B><DD>Optional name of file to save into. default is "images.pkl"
If the file suffix is '.mar' the Image objects will be
flattened into regular strings and saved as a marshalled
file, (a performance route when you know the SRC prefix
ahead of time).
<DT><B> prefix</B><DD>Optional specification of the Image prefix. Typically
used when you what to specify a known URL path for
your image repository, eg. http:/www.phunni.com/image.
