Clearing cache using urllib library in python

I am downloading an image from a given url via urllib by using the 

urllib.urlretrieve(ImageUrl,ImageName)

My question is: is it possible to clear cache using urllib before downloading the image or do I have to first browse to image url,clear cache, then download the image via urllib.urlretrieve? I am using Python 2.7 ; browser: Chrome

Thanks in advance.

You can try:

urllib.urlcleanup()

It clears the cache that may have been built up by previous calls to urlretrieve().
