You can use PIL (http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil) to convert favicons to other image formats (PNG, GIF, etc.). Getting the favicon data into Python is pretty easy too, just use urllib. You should be able to do something like this (maybe in a different process though, create a task using the scheduler): Python 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import Image, urllib, cStringIO >>> #first, download the favicon data >>> favicondata = urllib.urlopen("http://www.google.com/favicon.ico";).read() >>> #next, write the favicon to a StringIO file-like object >>> f = cStringIO.StringIO() >>> f.write(favicondata) >>> #rewind back to the beginning of the file and load using PIL >>> f.seek(0) >>> img = Image.open(f) >>> #save to the filesystem (or to a database, etc.) >>> img.save("/whatever/favicon.google.png", format="PNG") >>> Steve --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
