ok

so I found this script: http://www.endlesslycurious.com/2011/12/31/downloading-wallpaper-images-from-reddit-with-python/

What is does is downloads wallpaper images from reddit..

What I want it to do it download the image in the top left corner when accessing: http://www.reddit.com/r/uwaterloo

This image:


Instead of downloading the background.

Thanks guys :)

Why do you need a script to download that image? Does that image change? Are you wanting to use the script to grab the banner image from multiple subreddits?

It was a request by a company in the 2nd part of a job interview process
The image doesn't change on that particular subreddit
Also it would be great if it would work for multiple subreddits, but not a necessity...the main thing is that the script works

Good question, I was confused myself so was one of my com sci profs I talked to
My best guess is its a test albeit a tough one with someone with no programming knowledge
