Wildcards in python?

[HalfEmptyHero]

I want to scan an html file, looking for images, and add the url of the image to a list, however I am not sure how to do this. Is there any way to do wildcards in python, such as:

if 'http://www.'*'.jpg' in file:
list.append(item)

or something that works to that degree. Or some other way to do this.

You need a regular expression. Look at the re module.

You might also want to check into Beautiful Soup (http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/), a Python library useful for efficiently and usefully dissecting web pages. It's particularly adept at handling badly-coded pages such as you often find on the open web.
