Quiet output from write(chunk)

Question

Working in the Python interpreter, the following code works ... but with a console output of: 2048 2048 ... 2048 2048

Is there anyway to run the fd.write(chunk) statemen

Answer 1

The Python interpreter prints the return value of functions by default. Write returns the number of bytes it writes. If you don't want to see that, just store it in a variable which you never print, e.g.:

r = requests.get(url, stream=True)
with open('output.jpg', 'wb') as fd:
    for chunk in r.iter_content(2048):
        bytes = fd.write(chunk)
