Answer 1

I will assume you are using wikipedia.py, the Python API wrapper (the example you make is from the documentation).

Actually, the docs say exactly what you need: you have to check if the picture in the infobox is the first one (or second, third, etc.) one (I would say it is often, if not always, the first).

print ny.images[0]
