fetching images from web is my little hobby (but i dont know, if you
want fetch this kind of images). i sending my little script.
import urllib
for i in range(25,286,1):
if i<100: n='0'+str(i)
else: n=str(i)
for j in range(16):
if j<10: o='0'+str(j)
else: o=str(j)
s='used for error detecting'
url='http://www.paradisetoons.com/ima/toon'+str(i)+'/p'+str(j)+'.jpg'
fil='e:/pics/xxz37/prtn_'+n+'_'+o+'.jpg'
try:
s=urllib.urlopen(url).readline(6)
except:
print ''
if s.lower()=='<html>':
print 'file '+url+' does not exist'
else:
print 'downloading file: '+url
urllib.urlretrieve(url,fil)
any sugestions for doing this better?
