Python equivalent of a given wget command

by

There is also a nice Python module named wget that is pretty easy to use. Keep in mind that the package has not been updated since 2015 and has not implemented a number of important features, so it may be better to use other methods. It depends entirely on your use case. For simple downloading, this module is the ticket. If you need to do more, there are other solutions out there.

>>> import wget
>>> url="http://www.futurecrew.com/skaven/song_files/mp3/razorback.mp3"
>>> filename = wget.download(url)
100% [................................................] 3841532 / 3841532>
>> filename
'razorback.mp3'

Enjoy.

However, if wget doesn’t work (I’ve had trouble with certain PDF files), try this solution.

Edit: You can also use the out parameter to use a custom output directory instead of current working directory.

>>> output_directory = <directory_name>
>>> filename = wget.download(url, out=output_directory)
>>> filename
'razorback.mp3'
