Just to reiterate what Gabriel and Carsten have pointed out, I'd suggest  
changing the last few lines of the script, as the comments below indicate:

print '''Content-Type: image/jpeg''' # One header line
print '''Content-Encoding: base64''' # Another header line. Note *no*  
blank line between them
print 				     # Blank line signals the end of the headers
print content.encode(base64)	     # Base64-encoded content comes *after*  
the blank line

If you include extra blank lines after the headers, the browser will  
misunderstand where the binary image data begins, and so will see a  
malformed JPEG.

If this doesn't work, I suggest changing the content-type header to  
text/plain and trying to manually decode and check the image data to  
ensure it's valid.
