import psycopg2
import sys

def readImage():
    try:
        fin = open("woman.jpg", "rb")
        img = fin.read()
        return img

    except IOError, e:
        print "Error %d: %s" % (e.args[0],e.args[1])
        sys.exit(1)

    finally:
        if fin:
            fin.close()
try:
    con = psycopg2.connect(database="testdb", user="abc")
    cur = con.cursor()
    data = readImage()
    binary = psycopg2.Binary(data)
    cur.execute("INSERT INTO images(id, data) VALUES (1, %s)", (binary,) )
    con.commit()
except psycopg2.DatabaseError, e:
    if con:
        con.rollback()
    print 'Error %s' % e    
    sys.exit(1)
finally: 
    if con:
        con.close()
