python save image from url

Question

I got a problem when I am using python to save an image from url either by urllib2 request or urllib urlretrieve  That is the url of the image is valid  I could download it manually using the explorer  However  when I use python to download the image  the file cannot be opened  I use Mac OS preview to view the image  Thank you   UPDATE   The code is as follow  def downloadImage self       request   urllib2 Request self url      pic   urllib2 urlopen request      print  downloading      self url     print self fileName     filePath   localSaveRoot   self catalog    self fileName   Picture postfix       urllib urlretrieve self url  filePath      with open filePath   wb   as localFile          localFile write pic read      The image URL that I want to download is http   site meishij net r 58 25 3568808 a3568808 142682562777944 jpg  This URL is valid and I can save it through the browser but the python code would download a file that cannot be opened  The Preview says  It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn t recognize   I compare the image that I download by Python and the one that I download manually through the browser  The size of the former one is several byte smaller  So it seems that the file is uncompleted  but I don t know why python cannot completely download it
