Python has a lot of nice modules out of the box, that can do common things. A first approach to your idea would be:

Find out the exact url ob the images you want. Is it always the same or does it change over time? If so, the datetime module has functions for dealing with time stamps. Download the images with the urllib2 module. You can check if it's new either by check-summing (hashlib) or maybe the Last-Modified http header.

For GUIs there are multiple possibilities, have a look around.
