On 23. of October last year a the follwing was posted to this group:

> htmlSource=urllib.urlopen("http://www.godandscience.org/images/nebula.jpg")
> # Read from the object, storing the page's contents in 's'.
> s = htmlSource.read()
> htmlSource.close()
> myfile = open("myfile.jpg", "w")
> myfile.write(s)
> myfile.close

There were two advices (use urllib2 and "wb"). I tried to build this  
script on this basis:

import win32api
import win32com
import urllib2
gif&p=TAMA&fy=1900&ty=2005&m=21&r_type=TR&r_no=1")
htmlSource=urllib2.urlopen("http://www.godandscience.org/images/nebula.jpg")
# Read from the object, storing the page's contents in 's'.
s = htmlSource.read()
htmlSource.close()
myfile = open("P:\Jobb\Prosjekt\Maanedsoversikt\myfile.jpg", "wb")
myfile.write(s)
myfile.close


But the images get cropped at the bottom. Any suggestions on how to get  
the whole image, and not only 80 - 90% (I run python 2.4 with PythonWin on  
a Windows XP)
