"The file cannot be reopened" when used with Django imagekit

I’m using django-s3-storage along with django-imagekit, but there seems to be a problem with the way django-s3-storage opens files. It’s easy to reproduce, and I have a full django app and repro instructions for the issue, here: https://github.com/mgalgs/iktest

I was a bit thrown off for a while because django-s3-storage isn’t anywhere in the stack trace of the erroneous situation, but @scottmx81 figured out that the test app works fine with django-storages, or by monkey-patching pilkit.open_image like so:

from pilkit.lib import Image
from pilkit import utils


def open_image(target):
    try:
        target.seek(0)
        return Image.open(target)
    except ValueError:
        return Image.open(target.storage.open(target.name))

utils.open_image = open_image

With django-storages no monkey-patch is required…

Heh, no worries, closing an issue is it’s own reward.

If nobody steps forth to claim it, maybe throw the money at a worthy charity.
