What version of python are you using? Where did you get the wget libary?

The above snippet will not work because all slashes are duplicated.
Please post a small but runnable script.

How do you "open" the images? Do you mean you try to view them in an image 
viewer or are you reading the contents with Python? If the latter, show us 
your code for that, too.
