i' m trying to change an existing script
for my own needs

but the script doesn't work on my comp :P
So I thought i could change it
but my beginner knowledge of python isn't good enough for that :sleep:

the original script is here:
Download image file from the HTML page source using python? - Stack Overflow

first i want to get it to work
then i want to add some extra features to it

what i get when i run it:
Errorno2 no such file or directory

when i change
urlretrieve(urlparse.urlunparse(parsed), outpath)
to
urlretrieve(urlparse.urlunparse(parsed), test.jpg)

it does work a bit :p
it doesn't complain but the file was corrupted

so new thoughts are welcome :)

now saving the image in a relative map is the next goal :cool:

I wanted to make the code fully compatible with python3
After several hours working on the script
Using lxml instead of beautifulsoup
lxml is a collection of scripts processing html or xml
I used lxml.html together with xpath
I made succesful a frozen binary too
which you may get from my site
I'm still not very pleased with the limited things it can do
but i'll make it something good :)

the next project I'm starting will use the flickr api for downloading your images
still don't get your hopes up...

Nice work Kousuke.

[Kousuke]

Thanks :c-grin:

I'm currently still learning python
(learning python writed by mark lutz)
I have some ideas in which direction I want to go with programming

im interested in using xmpp later and pyqt
for a type of program that can be improved in my opinion
(I'm not going in to details yet , again from this stage I can't promise anything)

[Kousuke]

Here is the new improved script
the most important fixes are the command line setup
and the use of raw strings for file directories

dumpimagesWIP5.py
dumpimages0.3WIP5.py
