import os,requests
def download(url):
    get_response = requests.get(url,stream=True)
    file_name  = url.split("/")[-1]
    with open(file_name, 'wb') as f:
        for chunk in get_response.iter_content(chunk_size=1024):
            if chunk: # filter out keep-alive new chunks
                f.write(chunk)


download("https://example.com/example.jpg")

使用5行Python请求

import requests as req

remote_url = 'http://www.example.com/sound.mp3'
local_file_name = 'sound.mp3'

data = req.get(remote_url)

# Save file data to local copy
with open(local_file_name, 'wb')as file:
    file.write(data.content)

现在对远程文件的本地副本执行一些操作

Python 2/3的PabloG代码的改进版本:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from __future__ import ( division, absolute_import, print_function, unicode_literals )

import sys, os, tempfile, logging

if sys.version_info >= (3,):
    import urllib.request as urllib2
    import urllib.parse as urlparse
else:
    import urllib2
    import urlparse

def download_file(url, dest=None):
    """ 
    Download and save a file specified by url to dest directory,
    """
    u = urllib2.urlopen(url)

    scheme, netloc, path, query, fragment = urlparse.urlsplit(url)
    filename = os.path.basename(path)
    if not filename:
        filename = 'downloaded.file'
    if dest:
        filename = os.path.join(dest, filename)

    with open(filename, 'wb') as f:
        meta = u.info()
        meta_func = meta.getheaders if hasattr(meta, 'getheaders') else meta.get_all
        meta_length = meta_func("Content-Length")
        file_size = None
        if meta_length:
            file_size = int(meta_length[0])
        print("Downloading: {0} Bytes: {1}".format(url, file_size))

        file_size_dl = 0
        block_sz = 8192
        while True:
            buffer = u.read(block_sz)
            if not buffer:
                break

            file_size_dl += len(buffer)
            f.write(buffer)

            status = "{0:16}".format(file_size_dl)
            if file_size:
                status += "   [{0:6.2f}%]".format(file_size_dl * 100 / file_size)
            status += chr(13)
            print(status, end="")
        print()

    return filename

if __name__ == "__main__":  # Only run if this file is called directly
    print("Testing with 10MB download")
    url = "http://download.thinkbroadband.com/10MB.zip"
    filename = download_file(url)
    print(filename)

为了完整起见，还可以使用子流程包调用任何程序来检索文件。专用于检索文件的程序比Python函数(如urlretrieve)更强大。例如，wget可以递归下载目录(-R)，可以处理FTP、重定向、HTTP代理，可以避免重新下载现有文件(-nc)，而aria2可以进行多连接下载，这可能会加快下载速度。

import subprocess
subprocess.check_output(['wget', '-O', 'example_output_file.html', 'https://example.com'])

在Jupyter Notebook中，也可以直接使用!语法:

!wget -O example_output_file.html https://example.com

这可能有点晚了，但我看到了pabloG的代码，忍不住添加了一个os.system('cls')，使它看起来很棒!看看吧:

    import urllib2,os

    url = "http://download.thinkbroadband.com/10MB.zip"

    file_name = url.split('/')[-1]
    u = urllib2.urlopen(url)
    f = open(file_name, 'wb')
    meta = u.info()
    file_size = int(meta.getheaders("Content-Length")[0])
    print "Downloading: %s Bytes: %s" % (file_name, file_size)
    os.system('cls')
    file_size_dl = 0
    block_sz = 8192
    while True:
        buffer = u.read(block_sz)
        if not buffer:
            break

        file_size_dl += len(buffer)
        f.write(buffer)
        status = r"%10d  [%3.2f%%]" % (file_size_dl, file_size_dl * 100. / file_size)
        status = status + chr(8)*(len(status)+1)
        print status,

    f.close()

如果在Windows以外的环境中运行，你必须使用'cls'以外的东西。在MAC OS X和Linux中，它应该是“清晰的”。

使用urllib.request.urlopen ():

import urllib.request
with urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.example.com/') as f:
    html = f.read().decode('utf-8')

这是使用库的最基本的方法，没有任何错误处理。您还可以执行更复杂的操作，例如更改头文件。

在Python 2中，该方法在urllib2中:

import urllib2
response = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.example.com/')
html = response.read()
