The urllib module should do that for you but...

What do you know?
Do you understand HTML? and specifically how to 
create and read img tags?

Do you know any Python? 
Do you know any other programming language?

Version 9.x of what?
Operating System - on a Mac perhaps?
If so it shouldn't matter since Python's urllib works OK on 
the older versions.

We really need a liittle more background to help further.
