Python How to open file not from computer in binary mode?

Question

Python

To send photos from a computer to the server, I use this: But if you insert a link from the site, for example
open('bla.jpg', 'rb')

i.stack.imgur.com/bq6O5.png

, does not work:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ' i.stack.imgur.com/bq6O5.png '

How can I open this image without downloading it to my computer?

import urllib2
response = urllib2.urlopen('http://i.stack.imgur.com/bq6O5.png')
data = response.read()
