How can i import pictures from a web page to my Tkinter GUI?

[Elias Alhanatis]

Hello everybody!!!

I need some help with the following task:
I want to embed an image(gif) from a web page ( which is dynamicaly updated in that page which means i cannot download it just once...), in my GUI. I need this to happen only when a user "starts" my program .
So , how can i "get" the image from the web page and have it as an object in my program?
I am working on Windows Vista , Python 2.5.

Thank you all in advance!!!!!!

P.S.: In order to be more precice , the image i want is this:
http://www.kitconet.co m/charts/metals/gold/t24_au_en_eukg_ 2.gif
Its a chart of the value of gold in the last 24 hours....

You could do something like this:
[code=python]
import urllib

pg = urllib.urlopen( "http://www.kitconet.co m/charts/metals/gold/t24_au_en_eukg_ 2.gif")
data = pg.read()

f = open("myGoldPic .gif", "wb")
f.write(data)
f.close()
[/code]
And then you can use myGoldPic.gif as your image file.

That in deed does the job!!!!
Thank you so much!!!
( I went through almost all the Python tutorials i have and didn't find any piece
of code as simple as that.... and also i think that now i can understand the
mechanism used for downloading through Python). Thanks again!!!!
