Fail to install haul? It is probably caused by lxml.

import haul

url = 'http://gibuloto.tumblr.com/post/62525699435/fuck-yeah'
result = haul.find_images(url)

"""

Advanced Usage

Custom finder / extender pipeline:

from haul.compat import str

                        finder_image_urls=[],
                        *args, **kwargs):
    """
    Find image URL in <img>'s data-src attribute
    """

    now_finder_image_urls = []

    for img in soup.find_all('img'):

        if src:
            src = str(src)
            now_finder_image_urls.append(src)

    output = {}
    output['finder_image_urls'] = finder_image_urls + now_finder_image_urls

    return output
