Fetch a file from a local url with Python requests?

I think simple solution for this will be creating temporary http server using python and using it.

1. Put all your files in temporary folder eg. tempFolder
2. Go to that directory and create a temporary http server in terminal/cmd as per your OS using command python -m http.server 8000 (Note 8000 is port no.)
3. This will you give you a link to http server. You can access it from http://127.0.0.1:8000/
4. Open your desired file in browser and copy the link to your url.
