Download and Save a file in python 2.7?

Question

Coming from here:

Basic http file downloading and saving to disk in python?

Is there any possibility to save the file in any folder? I tried this but i get error

Answer 1

You're most likely getting that error because /myfolder doesn't exist. Try creating it first

import os
import os.path
import urllib

destination = "/path/to/folder"
if os.path.exists(destination) is False:
    os.mkdirs(destination)
# You can also use the convenience method urlretrieve if you're using urllib anyway
urllib.urlretrieve("http://randomsite.com/file.gz", os.path.join(destination, "file.gz"))
