downloading web images

[Joe]

I'm just wandering if I'm doing this correct way I'm trying to download an
image and store it into a file this does the job, but created file does not
apear to be an image, it works fine and I can open image, I'm just
wandering if there is a better way of doing this.

htmlSource=urllib.urlopen("http://www.godandscience.org/images/nebula.jpg")
# Read from the object, storing the page's contents in 's'.
s = htmlSource.read()
htmlSource.close()
myfile = open("myfile.jpg", "w")
myfile.write(s)
myfile.close

Thanks

Hi !

Note :
urllib2.urlopen is more fast and more "modern"
open("myfile.jpg", "wb") if better for binary

Have a good day.

What do you mean that the file does not appear to be an image? If it works
fine and you can open the image, then what is the problem?
