@frederik thanks

huh...ya that worked.

It seems a little hit or miss for me.

I tried
https://placekitten.com/1000/1000 and it does not work
but I tried
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6069803/60276528-cc99f100-98c9-11e9-8a34-a749eef157a3.png
and it did work

Glad to know that it can work, but I am just running into something odd.

Thanks

Re: can't fetch image from url (python3 version)

This topic was semi-resolved already, but I am running into it also.

I am running the image.py code from the site.

# the path can be a path to a file or a url
image("http://f.cl.ly/items/1T3x1y372J371p0v1F2Z/drawBot.jpg", (100, 100), alpha=.3)

and I am getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "drawBot/ui/drawBotController.pyc", line 119, in createContext
  File "drawBot/drawBotDrawingTools.pyc", line 121, in _drawInContext

drawBot.misc.DrawBotError: No image found at http://f.cl.ly/items/1T3x1y372J371p0v1F2Z/drawBot.jpg

I am using DrawBot 3.120

Thanks
