Here is a little code snippet useful for downloading files from a specific URL and saving them on the filesystem:
 import urllib.request  
 import shutil  
   
 with urllib.request.urlopen(URL_TO_FILE) as response, open(FILE_NAME, 'wb') as f:  
   shutil.copyfileobj(response, f)  
opening the file in wb mode will create or OVERWRITE a file in binary mode
