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:
    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)

我写了下面的代码，它可以在普通的Python 2或Python 3中工作。

import sys
try:
    import urllib.request
    python3 = True
except ImportError:
    import urllib2
    python3 = False


def progress_callback_simple(downloaded,total):
    sys.stdout.write(
        "\r" +
        (len(str(total))-len(str(downloaded)))*" " + str(downloaded) + "/%d"%total +
        " [%3.2f%%]"%(100.0*float(downloaded)/float(total))
    )
    sys.stdout.flush()

def download(srcurl, dstfilepath, progress_callback=None, block_size=8192):
    def _download_helper(response, out_file, file_size):
        if progress_callback!=None: progress_callback(0,file_size)
        if block_size == None:
            buffer = response.read()
            out_file.write(buffer)

            if progress_callback!=None: progress_callback(file_size,file_size)
        else:
            file_size_dl = 0
            while True:
                buffer = response.read(block_size)
                if not buffer: break

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

                if progress_callback!=None: progress_callback(file_size_dl,file_size)
    with open(dstfilepath,"wb") as out_file:
        if python3:
            with urllib.request.urlopen(srcurl) as response:
                file_size = int(response.getheader("Content-Length"))
                _download_helper(response,out_file,file_size)
        else:
            response = urllib2.urlopen(srcurl)
            meta = response.info()
            file_size = int(meta.getheaders("Content-Length")[0])
            _download_helper(response,out_file,file_size)

import traceback
try:
    download(
        "https://geometrian.com/data/programming/projects/glLib/glLib%20Reloaded%200.5.9/0.5.9.zip",
        "output.zip",
        progress_callback_simple
    )
except:
    traceback.print_exc()
    input()

注:

支持“进度条”回调。 从我的网站上下载一个4 MB的测试包。zip。

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”。

为了这个目的，用纯Python编写了wget库。从2.0版开始，它就为urlretrieve注入了这些特性。

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。
