Beautiful Soup Question: Filtering Images based on their width and height attributes

[PicURLPy]

Hello,

I want to extract some image links from different html pages, in
particular i want extract those image tags which height values are
greater than 200. Is there an elegant way in BeautifulSoup to do this?

Most image tags "in the wild" don't have height attributes, you have
to download the image to see what size it is.

to download the image to see what size it is.

or at least a small portion of it; see the example at the bottom of this
page for one way to get the size without downloading more than 1k or so:

Yes.

soup.findAll(lambda tag: tag.name=="img" and tag.has_key("height")
and int(tag["height"]) > 200)
