Just use ```StringIO``` instead of opened file object and you can use answer you provided. – pavel_form Oct 22 '14 at 14:33

You can use the following code, the image data will be set in img, not a file in the disk, than you can manipulate it with opencv.
import io
import requests
from PIL import Image
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
url = 'http://example.com/img.jpg'
data = requests.get(url).content
img = Image.open(io.BytesIO(data))
plt.imshow(img)
plt.show()
