Download pdf using urllib?

Question

I am trying to download a pdf file from a website using urllib. This is what i got so far:

import urllib

def download_file(download_url):
    web_file = url         


        

Answer 1

Try to use urllib.retrieve (Python 3) and just do that:

from urllib.request import urlretrieve

def download_file(download_url):
    urlretrieve(download_url, 'path_to_save_plus_some_file.pdf')

if __name__ == 'main':
    download_file('http://www.example.com/some_file.pdf')
