image = "" is a pointless operation in the above snippet.

What is bs and bs.img? How does it know what URL you are looking for?

What is out?

I doubt that.

You are probably getting an exception that says:

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

Case is significant in Python -- NoneType is a built-in Python object,
nonetype could be anything you programmed it to be. Please don't
paraphrase error messages, copy and paste the exact message.

If you are getting a TypeError, that might mean that somehow, somewhere,
you have assigned out.write = None.
