Making the necessary module imports

Now, let's load all the modules required to make predictions with the CNTK model, as in the following steps:

1. Add the following lines of imports to the views.py file of the api app:

import osfrom django.conf import settings

2. We'll need the preceding imports to load the model from the disk:

import cntk as Cfrom cntk.ops.functions import load_model

The following modules are used to manipulate the images that the predictions will be made on:

from PIL import Imageimport numpy as np

The following modules provide utility for handling Base64-encoded strings, which is the format ...
