Downloading a picture via urllib and python

Question

So I\'m trying to make a Python script that downloads webcomics and puts them in a folder on my desktop. I\'ve found a few similar programs on here that do something simila

Answer 1

I have found this answer and I edit that in more reliable way

def download_photo(self, img_url, filename):
    try:
        image_on_web = urllib.urlopen(img_url)
        if image_on_web.headers.maintype == 'image':
            buf = image_on_web.read()
            path = os.getcwd() + DOWNLOADED_IMAGE_PATH
            file_path = "%s%s" % (path, filename)
            downloaded_image = file(file_path, "wb")
            downloaded_image.write(buf)
            downloaded_image.close()
            image_on_web.close()
        else:
            return False    
    except:
        return False
    return True

From this you never get any other resources or exceptions while downloading.
