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

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:

    """

我想从网页上下载所有的文件。我尝试了wget，但它失败了，所以我决定使用Python路由，我找到了这个线程。

读完之后，我做了一个小的命令行应用程序，soupget，扩展了PabloG和Stan的优秀答案，并添加了一些有用的选项。

它使用BeatifulSoup收集页面的所有url，然后下载具有所需扩展名的url。最后，它可以同时下载多个文件。

下面就是:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from __future__ import (division, absolute_import, print_function, unicode_literals)
import sys, os, argparse
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

# --- insert Stan's script here ---
# if sys.version_info >= (3,): 
#...
#...
# def download_file(url, dest=None): 
#...
#...

# --- new stuff ---
def collect_all_url(page_url, extensions):
    """
    Recovers all links in page_url checking for all the desired extensions
    """
    conn = urllib2.urlopen(page_url)
    html = conn.read()
    soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
    links = soup.find_all('a')

    results = []    
    for tag in links:
        link = tag.get('href', None)
        if link is not None: 
            for e in extensions:
                if e in link:
                    # Fallback for badly defined links
                    # checks for missing scheme or netloc
                    if bool(urlparse.urlparse(link).scheme) and bool(urlparse.urlparse(link).netloc):
                        results.append(link)
                    else:
                        new_url=urlparse.urljoin(page_url,link)                        
                        results.append(new_url)
    return results

if __name__ == "__main__":  # Only run if this file is called directly
    # Command line arguments
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
        description='Download all files from a webpage.')
    parser.add_argument(
        '-u', '--url', 
        help='Page url to request')
    parser.add_argument(
        '-e', '--ext', 
        nargs='+',
        help='Extension(s) to find')    
    parser.add_argument(
        '-d', '--dest', 
        default=None,
        help='Destination where to save the files')
    parser.add_argument(
        '-p', '--par', 
        action='store_true', default=False, 
        help="Turns on parallel download")
    args = parser.parse_args()

    # Recover files to download
    all_links = collect_all_url(args.url, args.ext)

    # Download
    if not args.par:
        for l in all_links:
            try:
                filename = download_file(l, args.dest)
                print(l)
            except Exception as e:
                print("Error while downloading: {}".format(e))
    else:
        from multiprocessing.pool import ThreadPool
        results = ThreadPool(10).imap_unordered(
            lambda x: download_file(x, args.dest), all_links)
        for p in results:
            print(p)

它的用法示例如下:

python3 soupget.py -p -e <list of extensions> -d <destination_folder> -u <target_webpage>

还有一个实际的例子，如果你想看到它的作用:

python3 soupget.py -p -e .xlsx .pdf .csv -u https://healthdata.gov/dataset/chemicals-cosmetics

基于urllib3的新Api实现

>>> import urllib3
>>> http = urllib3.PoolManager()
>>> r = http.request('GET', 'your_url_goes_here')
>>> r.status
   200
>>> r.data
   *****Response Data****

更多信息:https://pypi.org/project/urllib3/

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

另一种可能是使用内置的http.client:

from http import HTTPStatus, client
from shutil import copyfileobj

# using https
connection = client.HTTPSConnection("www.example.com")
with connection.request("GET", "/noise.mp3") as response:
    if response.status == HTTPStatus.OK:
        copyfileobj(response, open("noise.mp3")
    else:
        raise Exception("request needs work")

HTTPConnection对象被认为是“低级的”，因为它只执行一次所需的请求，并假设开发人员将对它或脚本进行子类化，以处理HTTP的细微差别。诸如请求之类的库倾向于处理更特殊的情况，例如自动跟随重定向等等。
