简单但Python 2和Python 3兼容的方式提供了六个库:

from six.moves import urllib
urllib.request.urlretrieve("http://www.example.com/songs/mp3.mp3", "mp3.mp3")

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")

你可以使用python请求

import os
import requests


outfile = os.path.join(SAVE_DIR, file_name)
response = requests.get(URL, stream=True)
with open(outfile,'wb') as output:
  output.write(response.content)

你可以使用shutil

import os
import requests
import shutil
 
outfile = os.path.join(SAVE_DIR, file_name)
response = requests.get(url, stream = True)
with open(outfile, 'wb') as f:
  shutil.copyfileobj(response.content, f)

如果你从受限的url下载，不要忘记在标题中包含访问令牌

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。

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”。
