You can try something like:

from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
import requests

url = "http://some_site/files?file=file.csv"  # URL used to download file
#  GET-request to get file content using your web-site's credentials to access file
r = requests.get(url, auth=HTTPBasicAuth("your_username", "your_password"))
#  Saving response content to file on your computer
with open("path/to/folder/to/save/file/filename.csv", 'w') as my_file:
    my_file.write(r.content)
