Retrieve images

[controversial]

From a quick code and documentation search, there's no functionality for handling images sent, or sending images. Would this be hard to implement? There doesn't even seem to be functionality for downloading raw image data as a string. At least this functionality would be helpful, because:

import discord
from PIL import Image
from StringIO import StringIO

client = discord.Client()
client.login('user','password')

def on_message(message):
    buff = StringIO()
    buff.write(message.content)
    try:
        im = Image.open(buff)
        isImage=True
    except:
        text = message.content
        isImage=False
    if isImage:
        im.save("img.jpg")
    else:
        print text

Setting it up like this would be an easy way to download images. Uploading images might work similarly.

Sending files is supported via send_file.

Getting files is your own thing. You can look at message.embeds or message.attachments and extract the images with an HTTP request if you want.
