curl -u equivalent in python

Question

I'm trying to download a file from a website which requires log-in. By command line it can easily be done via

curl --proxy-anyauth -p -c cookie -u user:psw -L url > file.ext

Any advices on how to do that in python? Thank you

google.co.uk/… . Wonders what a simple google search does!

Thanks, I tried PyCurl, but in the end i choose to use requests. requests.get(url, auth=(user, pWord)) seems a far clearer way to me.

Ok. Glad you found something you liled
