Download files from a list if not already downloaded

Question

I can do this in c#, and the code is pretty long.

Would be cool if someone can show me how this would be done via python.

Pseudo code is:

u         


        

Answer 1

It's less code in Python, you could use something like this:

import urllib2
improt os

url="http://.../"
# Translate url into a filename
filename = url.split('/')[-1]

if not os.path.exists(filename)
  outfile = open(filename, "w")
  outfile.write(urllib2.urlopen(url).read())
  outfile.close()
