downloading an excel file from the web in python

Question

I have the following web address:

dls = \"http://www.muellerindustries.com/uploads/pdf/UW SPD0114.xls\"

I tried to download the file:

Answer 1

This would save the excel file in the same folder that the script was ran from.

import urllib
dls = "http://www.muellerindustries.com/uploads/pdf/UW SPD0114.xls"
urllib.request.urlretrieve(dls, "test.xls")  # For Python 3
# urllib.urlretrieve(dls, "test.xls")  # For Python 2
