    • RE: Simple file download.

      Backticks?

      Ok, let's give it a try.

      Here is a simple working version of your suggestion.

      I like the 'wb' switch.

      import requests
      
      print()
      
      destpath = 'ex24file.txt'
      url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grrrr/py/741ba0500bc49e8f6268f02d23e461649e8d457b/scripts/buffer.py"
      
      with open(destpath,'wb') as file:
      	file.write(requests.get(url).content)

    • RE: Simple file download.

      So what is the difference between request and urllib.request?

      Same library, just different collections?

    • RE: Simple file download.

      Well that works pretty good @JonB.

      I just learned how to transfer up a GIST.

      First test:
      https://gist.github.com/NickAtNight500

      How do we download a ZIP file?

      Well, that works modestly well. It downloaded both sample files for this Google code jam problem.

    • RE: Simple file download.

      Revised version.

      Makes a Downliad file in Documents.
      Puts download file there

      import console
      import dialogs
      import appex
      import os.path
      import urllib.request, urllib

      #Make a downloads directory
      os.chdir(os.path.expanduser('~'))
      os.chdir(os.path.join(os.getcwd(),'Documents'))

      test = os.path.isdir('Downloads')
      print(test)

      if test == False:
      print('Downloads created')
      os.makedirs('Downloads')
      else:
      print('Downloads exists')

      print('Change dir to Downloads')

      os.chdir(os.path.join(os.getcwd(),'Downloads'))

      #Test if running as extenstion
      test = appex.is_running_extension()

      if test == True:
      filein = appex.get_url()
      else:
      myrun = dialogs.alert('Manual entry?', '','Enter manual URL',"Dummy")

      if myrun == 1:
      filein = input("Enter the URL address of file to get:")

      else:
      filein = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grrrr/py/741ba0500bc49e8f6268f02d23e461649e8d457b/scripts/buffer.py"

      fileparse = urllib.parse.urlparse(filein)
      filepath,filename = os.path.split(fileparse.path)

      fin = urllib.request.urlopen(filein)

      fout = open(filename,'w')

      fout.truncate()

      bytemyfile = fin.read()
      myfile = bytemyfile.decode("utf-8")
      fout.write(myfile)
      print (myfile)

      fin.close()
      fout.close()

    • RE: Simple file download.

      Latest version,

      • Uses APPEX.
        -- If running as a script, gets the file name from APPEX.
        -- So navigate to file and invoke script.
        -- No checking for the appropriate type of file.

      • If not run as a script
        -- Allow manual entry of entire file path.
        -- Alterbative is to use the dummy test url

      • I suppose I should make a 'download' directory and put the files in there, just below the root.

      import console
      import dialogs
      import appex
      import os.path
      import urllib.request, urllib

      test = appex.is_running_extension()

      if test == True:
      filein = appex.get_url()
      else:
      myrun = dialogs.alert('Manual entry?', '','Enter manual URL',"Dummy")
      if myrun == 1:
      filein = input("Enter the URL address of file to get:")

      else:
      	filein = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grrrr/py/741ba0500bc49e8f6268f02d23e461649e8d457b/scripts/buffer.py"
      

      fileparse = urllib.parse.urlparse(filein)
      filepath,filename = os.path.split(fileparse.path)

      fin = urllib.request.urlopen(filein)

      fout = open(filename,'w')

      fout.truncate()

      bytemyfile = fin.read()
      myfile = bytemyfile.decode("utf-8")
      fout.write(myfile)
      print (myfile)

      fin.close()
      fout.close()

    • RE: Simple file download.

      Ok, I will have to try that. @lukaskollmer

      How about this:
      If I navigate to the file in Safari.
      I can run a script.
      Using APPEX will give me the URL

      import appex
      
      r = appex.get_url()
      
      print(r)
      

      Now I just need to put that url into the command.
