this is first post here and I am a noob programmer.
This may be a stupid question.

I'd like to create a personal Twitter notifier on GNOE Desktop. And I've decided to use pynotify and Tweepy.
Now I just want to make pynotify show Twitter user's icon, and there seems to be 2 ways using pynotify; setting URI to local image file, or using pixbuf API. I suppose downloading the icon and setting URI to the local icon by urllib is easier though don't want to make local cache file. Is it possible to pass directly a remote image to pixbuf?

  • Yes, this is what I want. Thank you, mg. Additionally, I had to search this FAQ by myself. Sorry for bothering. – Japboy Dec 22 '09 at 11:22
