A quick module to help downloading files using python.
Project description
Download
A no-frills tool to download files from the web. It will attempt to be smart about not downloading data that’s already there, checking to make sure that there were no errors in fetching data, automatically unzipping the contents of downloaded zipfiles (if desired), and displaying a progress bar with statistics.
_This package doesn’t get a ton of developer attention, but is hopefully well-scoped enough that it should still be useful! If you’d like to help improve it, fix bugs, etc, please reach out in the issues!_
