Question

I need to find an image in a HTML code similar to this one:

...
<a href="/example/11/1"> 
    <img src="http://example.net/example.jpg" alt="Example"/>
</a>
...

and download the image in src.

Answer 1

This should be a good starting point for you:

import urllib2
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

page = urllib2.urlopen('http://yahoo.com').read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(page)
counter = 0
for img in soup.find_all('img'):
    with open("image" + str(counter),'wb') as f:
        f.write(urllib2.urlopen(img['src']).read())
    counter += 1
