Question

In the following code how to test for if the type is url or if the type is an image

for dictionaries in d_dict:
  type  = dictionaries.get('type')
  if (type starts with http or https):
    logging.debug("type is url")
  else if type ends with .jpg or .png or .gif
    logging.debug("type is image")
  else:
     logging.debug("invalid type") 

Answer 1

Use regular expressions.

import re

r_url = re.compile(r"^https?:")
r_image = re.compile(r".*\.(jpg|png|gif)$")

for dictionaries in d_dict:
  type  = dictionaries.get('type')
  if r_url.match(type):
    logging.debug("type is url")
  else if r_image.match(type)
    logging.debug("type is image")
  else:
     logging.debug("invalid type") 

Two remarks: type is a builtin, and images could be loaded from an URL too.
