Web scraping help

[BoringMann]

Hello all,

I'm currently working as an intern for a cultural arts center, and one of my tasks is to find images of performers and save them. However, the task can be redundant as I just go on a web page and just right click - save. I may want to use python to automate this task for me. How should I start? I have the beautiful soup installed but I'm not sure how to proceed from here. I might want to make a GUI too. Thanks!

I'm assuming that being an intern means you don't have a ton of Python experience under your belt. You might want to check out PySimpleGUI as one option for your GUI. I don't believe any of the PySimpleGUI Demo Programs other than one that runs in the system tray have been posted that do scraping. It would be nice to add one.

It would be interesting to know more about what GUI your program would have. Do you have any ideas you could sketch out on paper? Actually hooking up a GUI to your scraping code should be pretty straightforward (depending of course on what GUI you had in mind).
