# coding=gbkimport urllib2import socketimport reimport timeimport os# timeout in seconds#timeout = 10#socket.setdefaulttimeout(timeout)timeout = 10urllib2.socket.setdefaulttimeout(timeout)home_url = "http://pile(reg_str) image_results = image_reg.findall(news_img_page) if len(image_results) == 0: print "Cannot find news page" + str(page_index) + "!" download_suc = False break image_url = image_results[0] print "News image url = " + image_url news_image_context = urllib2.urlopen(image_url) image_name = image_folder + "page_" + str(page_index) + ".jpg" imgf = open(image_name, 'wb') print "Getting image..." try: while True: date = news_image_context.read(1024*10) if not date: break imgf.write(date) imgf.close() except: download_suc = False print "Save image " + str(page_index) + " failed!" print "Unexpected error: " + sys.exc_info()[0] + sys.exc_info()[1] else: print "Save image " + str(page_index) + " succeed!" print page_index = page_index + 1if download_suc == True: print "News download succeed! Path = \"" + str(image_folder) + "\"" print "Enjoy it! ^^"else: print "news download failed!"
