It would be great if opengb provided thumbnail images of our uploaded gcode. The put_gcode_file method already allows the frontend to generate and upload a thumbnail via the optional thumbnail_png_base64 parameter. But if this is not present the backend should have a go.
As per this post the gctools project has been designed with the purpose of manipulating gcode with Python.
One of the features of the GCode class is a render method which outputs an svg representation of the gcode. This would be a quick way to render thumbnails on the backend however:
gctools has not been formally released - it's just a bunch of code in a github repo. As per my comment at the bottom I offered me help in properly releasing it so that we could make it a dependency for opengb and the author was receptive to the idea.
gctools may or may not work with Python 3.x
gctools requires pillow and matplotlib which would also need to work on Python 3.x
