A tiny module to make downloading with python super easy.

Project description

https://codecov.io/gh/choldgraf/download/branch/master/graph/badge.svg https://travis-ci.org/choldgraf/download.svg?branch=master

Download

A no-frills tool to download files from the web. It will attempt to be smart about not downloading data that’s already there, checking to make sure that there were no errors in fetching data, automatically unzipping the contents of downloaded zipfiles (if desired), and displaying a progress bar with statistics.

Installation

Either clone this repository and install with:

python setup.py install

or, simply install with pip:

pip install download

Usage

Download a file on the web is as easy as:

from download import download
path = download(url, file_path)

a file called file_name will be downloaded to the folder of file_path.

If your file is a zip file, you can add the flag:

path = download(url, file_path, zipfile=True)

in this case, the file will be downloaded, and then unzipped into the folder specified by file_name.
