img wrapped in ahref

[sandys]

most images/attachments in wordpress are formatted as ahref wrapping a img. In these cases, the img tag has info about the thumbnail... while the ahref points to the actual file.

can both these be downloaded ? I'm not an expert, but I looked at stackoverflow to get an idea of how to do this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24993292/python-extract-the-href-surrounding-image
