基本的http文件在python中下载并保存到磁盘?

问题描述

I'm new to Python and I've been going through the Q&A on this site, for an answer to my question. However, I'm a beginner and I find it difficult to understand some of the solutions. I need a very basic solution.

Could someone please explain a simple solution to 'Downloading a file through http' and 'Saving it to disk, in Windows', to me?

I'm not sure how to use shutil and os modules, either.

The file I want to download is under 500 MB and is an .gz archive file.If someone can explain how to extract the archive and utilise the files in it also, that would be great!

Here's a partial solution, that I wrote from various answers combined:

import requests
import os
import shutil

global dump

def download_file():
    global dump
    url = "http://randomsite.com/file.gz"
    file = requests.get(url, stream=True)
    dump = file.raw

def save_file():
    global dump
    location = os.path.abspath("D:folderfile.gz")
    with open("file.gz", 'wb') as location:
        shutil.copyfileobj(dump, location)
    del dump

Could someone point out errors (beginner level) and explain any easier methods to do this?

Thanks!

A clean way to download a file is:

import urllib

testfile = urllib.URLopener()
testfile.retrieve("http://randomsite.com/file.gz", "file.gz")

This downloads a file from a website and names it file.gz. This is one of my favorite solutions, from Downloading a picture via urllib and python.

This example uses the urllib library, and it will directly retrieve the file form a source.
