[2.5.1] Script to download and rename bunch of files?

[Gilles Ganault]

Hello,

Before I go ahead and learn how to write this, I was wondering if
someone knew of some source code I could use to download and rename a
bunch of files, ie. the equivalent of wget's -O switch?

I would provide a two-column list where column 1 would contain the
full URL, and column 2 would contain the name to use to rename the
file once downloaded.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The following puts in the string `a` the code of the page urlBase :

a = urllib.urlopen(urlBase).read()

Then you have to write `a` in a file.

There could be better way.
