:target: https://travis-ci.org/NotANormalNerd/imagine

Installation

Installing imagine can be done easily from this git repository::

pip install git+https://github.com/NotANormalNerd/imagine.git

Imagine will try and use https regardless of the protocol specified in the file and will fallback in case the server does not offer https.

All URLs have to be in the schema http(s)://somedomain.tld/path/to/image.jpg. URLs missing that schema will be skipped with a warning.

Logging can be setup by providing a path to a python fileConfig_ file via the environment variable IMAGINE_LOGGING

.. _fileConfig: https://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.config.html#configuration-file-format

After installing the script can easily be run::

imagine image-list.txt -d /some/place/big/
