Hello, kooper here.
While trying to think about what to post here, I suddenly realised that I didn't have any images to present.
In the last post, I hinted about using images from Wikipedia's Image of the Day, however I didn't have a way of parsing Wikipedia to get the images.
Until now!
I have created a Python script which, when run, will do the following:
- Print the URL of the current Image of the Day
- Display said image on a Tkinter window
Not only that, but you can also modify the code to specify a custom width and height for the Tkinter window (if you want to do that).
Requirements
- At least Python 3.10 (this program uses f-strings)
- 'pillow' module
Samples
Below is the image of the day for 13th June 2024 in both its original size and upscaled to 800x600:

You can download the script here.
