Image upload from another website using image url

[assomy@…]

want to make an image uploader using images links on the internet (eq: wwww.example.com/image.jpg). The user writes the previous url and then my model upload it.

This my code:

form>>

<input id="id_name" type="text" name="name" maxlength="255" value="www.example.com/main.jpg" />
view.py

def Post_date():

if request.method == 'POST':

form = Addpic()#simple form to capture data
image_url = request.POST.get('image')
file = urllib.urlopen(image_url)
im = cStringIO.StringIO(file.read()) # constructs a StringIO holding the image
img = Image.open(im)
save = '/tmp/' + str(int(time.time())) + '.gif'

img.save(save)
form.image=save

if form.is_valid():

pic = form.save(commit=False)
pic.save()

models.py

class Pic(models.Model):

image = ImageWithThumbsField(upload_to='images', sizes=((128, 128),))

The image uploads but if form.is_valid(): doesn't work and I don't know how to add it to the form data. how i can assign the downloaded image to my form (form.image=save)?
