ctx_auth = AuthenticationContext(url)
ctx_auth.acquire_token_for_user(username, password)   
ctx = ClientContext(url, ctx_auth)
response = File.open_binary(ctx, "/Shared Documents/User Guide.docx")
with open("./User Guide.docx", "wb") as local_file:
    local_file.write(response.content)

Upload a file

ctx_auth = AuthenticationContext(url)
ctx_auth.acquire_token_for_user(username, password)

path = "./User Guide.docx" #local path
with open(path, 'rb') as content_file:
   file_content = content_file.read()
