If I may quote the OP's first post on performing http requests from two days
ago:

"""
I have a sript that downloads a webpage. According to the picture  on 
this webpage I need to pass a parameter to this , running script a few
lines later.
"""

When I first read that, I already assumed that he wanted to circumvent some
registration CAPTCHA - but I wasn't sure, so I didn't say anything. But the
question for extracting characters from an image makes it clear IMHO. Of
course I might be wrong, and then I'm willing to express my sincere
apologies.
