[Nipy-devel] opening images from urls

[Jonathan Taylor]

I am getting weird behaviour opening from URLs that are in my ~/.nipy/cache.

Specifically, one out of every two or so times I try to open them, I get 
a not found error. I am working on a train with wireless, albeit weak. 
Is it possible that the statement

neuroimaging.image.Image('http://kff.stanford.edu/FIAC/fia....')

is still calling urllib or urllib2 somewhere and what I am seeing is a 
timeout? (Even when it does open it is quite slow which I might guess is 
a result of the speed of the network).

In the way I had written it before, I had tried (with limited success) 
to ensure that if the right files were found there would be no call to 
these libraries. I can't find if/where that is happening now.

Thanks,

Jonathan
