There are tools for doing this, e.g. wget available at http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/

import urllib
urllib.urlretrieve("https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png", "c:\\temp\\img.png")

Notes:
1. file location is in windows format - change if needed for mac/linux
2. In IDE you may have problem to run this twice - restart IDE if needed. I guess it will be fine when starting code as script
