Download files using request

This is simple example to use request for downloading the files.

import urllib

import sys

#adding the requests http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/index.html

import requests

print sys.argv[1]

# url to download

r=requests.get(sys.argv[1])

with open(sys.argv[2],"wb") as code:

#argv[2] is target file name

 code.write(r.content)

 

here, argv[1] is the link for the download file ( ex.- https://google.com) 

and argv[2] is the target file (ex. google.html).

run it by

#python script.py http://google.com google.html

happy coading :) B-)
