urllib urllib2 load image w/o saving?

38 New Member
i was wondering if there was anyway to load an image into a local variable using urllib or urllib2. i am currently using urllib.urlretri eve method of this, but it has to save each picture before i can use it. so i was wondering if there was any way for me to directly use pictures from the web.

I think I've found a deficiency in the design of urllib related to https. In order to complete an https connection, it appears that URLOpener and hence FancyURLOpener require the key and cert files. Or at least, it's not clear from the description of socket.ssl what it does if they're omitted. However, urlopen has no way to specify such things. Nor should it - for typical uses, a person simply trying to retrieve data from an ssl site...

Hi, I was using urllib to grab urls from web. here is the work flow of my program: 1. Get base url and max number of urls from user 2. Call filter to validate the base url 3. Read the source of the base url and grab all the urls from "href" property of "a" tag 4. Call filter to validate every url grabbed 5. Continue 3-4 until the number of url grabbed gets the limit

hello all, I just maybe hit a bug in both urllib and urllib2, actually urllib doesn't support proxy authentication, and if you setup the http_proxy env var to http_proxy=http://user:passwd@host:port/ and https_proxy=$http_proxy i get a traceback : Traceback (most recent call last): File "test_urllib.py", line 2, in ? urllib.urlopen("https://sf.net/")

I thought I had all the timeout problems with urllib worked around, but no. socket.setdefaulttimeout is useful, but not always effective. I'm setting that to 15 seconds. If the host end won't open the connection within 15 seconds, urllib times out. But if the host end opens the connection, then never sends anything, urllib waits for many minutes before timing out. Any idea how to deal with this? And don't just say "use urllib2"...

I'm trying to use urllib2 to download a page (I'd rather use urllib, but I need to change the User-Agent header to look like a browser or G**gle won't send it to me, the big meanies). The following (pinched from Dive Into Python) seems to work perfectly in Idle, but falls at the final hurdle when run as a cgi script - can anyone suggest anything I may have overlooked? request = urllib2.Request(some_URL) request.add_header('User-Agent',...

Hi, There is an Open Tracker item against urllib2 library python.org/sf/735515 which states that. urllib / urllib2 should cache the results of 301 (permanent) redirections. This shouldn't break anything, since it's just an internal optimisation from one point of view -- but it's also what the RFC (2616, section 10.3.2, first para) says SHOULD happen. I am trying to understand, what does it mean. Should the original url be avaiable to...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
