This might be easier than using requests. This is the only time I'll ever suggest not using requests to do HTTP stuff.

Two liner using urllib:

>>> import urllib
>>> urllib.urlretrieve("http://www.example.com/songs/mp3.mp3", "mp3.mp3")

There is also a nice Python module named wget that is pretty easy to use. Found here.

This demonstrates the simplicity of the design:

>>> import wget
>>> url = 'http://www.futurecrew.com/skaven/song_files/mp3/razorback.mp3'
>>> filename = wget.download(url)
100% [................................................] 3841532 / 3841532>
>> filename
'razorback.mp3'

Enjoy.

Edit: You can also add an out parameter to specify a path.

>>> out_filepath = <output_filepath>    
>>> filename = wget.download(url, out=out_filepath)

This might be easier than using requests. This is the only time I'll ever suggest not using requests to do HTTP stuff.
