wget in python – downloading files made easy! Python libraries, advent of code

Today we’re looking at an alternative to requests which is wget – an excellent little python library to download files. There’s very little to say that isn’t covered in the video – I show how it reduces more complicated requests down to a single line, but whilst it is simplified (and can be more efficient). So for file downloading, wget is awesome, but if you’re doing other things, like API calls etc, use requests.
