(Python) How do I download a file over HTTP using Python?

import urllib
response = urllib.urlopen('http://www.example.com/sound.mp3')
mp3 = response.read()

Will work fine. Or, if you don't want to deal with the "response" object you can call read() directly:

import urllib 
mp3 = urllib.urlopen('http://www.example.com/sound.mp3').read()
