Hello,

I'm new to Python, but I think it can solve my problem and I am looking for a someone to point me to tutorial or give me some tips here.

I have an xls file that has about 1,000 latitude and longitude points. I want to do one of two things: 1) Save a static maps and street view image from the coordinates, or 2) create an html file with the map and street view image side by side.

I need the urls to look like this: 

Map with a pin in the centre:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=43.65162,-79.40571&zoom=16&size=600x600&markers=color:blue%7Clabel:S%7C43.65162,-79.40571&sensor=false

Image:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/streetview?location=43.65162,%20-79.40571&size=600x600&sensor=false

I am not sure if option 1 will work because the url doesn't actually lead to an image, but rather Google returns an image when that url is used. 

Any tips or pointers are much appreciated!
