[Matplotlib-users] Reading a remote JPG URL using imread

2012-10-19 Thread Rich Signell
MPL folks, Would it be possible to enhance Matplotlib to allow "im=imread(url)" to work if url returns a JPG? Currently (it seems): 1. If the URL returns a PNG this works: im = imread(urllib2.urlopen(url)) 2. If the URL returns a JPG, this DOESN'T work: im = imread(urllib2.urlopen(url)) .. a
