How do I download a file using urllib.request in Python 3?
http, python, python-3.x, urllib
Solution
change
f.write(g)
to
f.write(g.read())
Problem
So, I'm messing around with `urllib.request` in Python 3 and am wondering how to write the result of getting an internet file to a file on the local machine. I tried this: ``` g = urllib.request.urlopen('http://media-mcw.cursecdn.com/3/3f/Beta.png') with open('test.png', 'b+w') as f: f.write(g) ``` But I got this error: ``` TypeError: 'HTTPResponse' does not support the buffer interface ``` What am I doing wrong? NOTE: I have seen this question, but it's related to Python 2's `urllib2` which was overhauled in Python 3.
