Hexerei: a thousand-word picture

Hexerei is a colorful software package for Python (and optionally a web server) that assigns a color value to each word or letter in a database. Hexerei then utilizes the PIL to convert produce an image consisting of color blocks which correspond to the given text. Thus, "a thousand words" become a picture!

Also included is a script that I created to help produce XHTML documents on-the-fly with Python as it is interpreted for a web server. Simple text documents are used to store encountered words and letters and to maintain a list of statistics. Created images are stored locally, and a script is included which empties the storage folder and resets the site statistics.

I have provided sourcecode access in HTML format for anyone to view. As all the important functions are in a few scripts and run by another script, it is simple for users to import the code and run it from a command line or interpreter.
