Finding only jpg and png images?

[Yansky]

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to search for all images on a
page and filter them by their image extension so that I only get jpg
and png files and not gif et.al.

I tried the following, but without success:

f = urllib.urlopen('http://foo.com')
b = BeautifulSoup.BeautifulSoup(f)

getStuff = b.findAll(lambda img: src.endswith('jpg' or 'jpeg' or
'png') )

Is it possible to do it that way or do I have to do it manually with
findAll('img') and then iterate through all the results and filter out
what I don't want with if statements?

Cheers.

You could use a regular expression to filter based on the src attribute:

getStuff = b.findAll('img', {'src' : re.compile(r'(jpe?g)|(png)$')})

Thanks, that seemed to do the trick. :)
