hi, i want to automate some tasks of gathering photos from web, i tried urllib/urllib2, both ended up without much success (saved gifs with only a border, nothing else)..
the code i used was: >>> data = >>> urllib2.urlopen("http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/img/komodo_aspn_other.gif") >>> #was looking through cookbook, so i used that as a sample image >>> data = data.read() >>> file = open("f:/test.gif", "w") >>> file.write(data) >>> file.close() can someone suggest a better way (or what's wrong with urllib/urllib2)? thanks alot! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
