The image is png , all you nedd to do is save it as '.png'

Here is the code 

import urllib
imagelink =  'http://searchpan.in/hacked_captcha.php?450535633'
urllib.urlretrieve(imagelink, "image.png")

You could use the following on Python 3. You need to first do a GET request which of-course is abstracted and retrieve the content, writing it to the given filename.

import urllib.request

imagelink =  'https://i.sstatic.net/s2F9o.png'
urllib.request.urlretrieve(imagelink, './sample.png')

Reference https://docs.python.org/3/howto/urllib2.html#fetching-urls

Maybe this on one line?

import urllib.request

urllib.request.urlretrieve("http://searchpan.in/hacked_captcha.php?450535633", "image..jpg")
