Python equivalent of a given wget command

Question

I\'m trying to create a Python function that does the same thing as this wget command:

wget -c --read-timeout=5 --tries=0 \"$URL\"

-c

Answer 1

For Windows and Python 3.x, my two cents contribution about renaming the file on download :

1. Install wget module : pip install wget
2. Use wget :

import wget
wget.download('Url', 'C:\\PathToMyDownloadFolder\\NewFileName.extension')

Truely working command line example :

python -c "import wget; wget.download(""https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.17.2.tar.xz"", ""C:\\Users\\TestName.TestExtension"")"

Note : 'C:\\PathToMyDownloadFolder\\NewFileName.extension' is not mandatory. By default, the file is not renamed, and the download folder is your local path.
