如果要将网页的内容转换为变量，则只需read响应
urllib.request.urlopen：
import urllib.request...url = 'http://example.com/'response = urllib.request.urlopen(url)data = response.read() # a `bytes` objecttext = data.depre('utf-8') # a `str`; this step can't be used if data is binary下载和保存文件的最简单方法是使用以下urllib.request.urlretrieve功能：
import urllib.request...# Download the file from `url` and save it locally under `file_name`:urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, file_name)import urllib.request...# Download the file from `url`, save it in a temporary directory and get the# path to it (e.g. '/tmp/tmpb48zma.txt') in the `file_name` variable:file_name, headers = urllib.request.urlretrieve(url)
但是请记住，这urlretrieve被认为是遗留的，并且可能会被弃用（尽管不确定为什么）。
因此，执行此操作的最正确方法是使用urllib.request.urlopen函数返回一个表示HTTP响应的类似文件的对象，然后使用将其复制到实际文件中shutil.copyfileobj。
import urllib.requestimport shutil...# Download the file from `url` and save it locally under `file_name`:with urllib.request.urlopen(url) as response, open(file_name, 'wb') as out_file: shutil.copyfileobj(response, out_file)
如果这看起来太复杂，则可能要简化一些并将整个下载存储在一个bytes对象中，然后将其写入文件。但这仅适用于小文件。
import urllib.request...# Download the file from `url` and save it locally under `file_name`:with urllib.request.urlopen(url) as response, open(file_name, 'wb') as out_file: data = response.read() # a `bytes` object out_file.write(data)
可以动态提取.gz（可能还有其他格式）压缩数据，但是这种操作可能需要HTTP服务器支持对文件的随机访问。
import urllib.requestimport gzip...# Read the first 64 bytes of the file inside the .gz archive located at `url`url = 'http://example.com/something.gz'with urllib.request.urlopen(url) as response: with gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=response) as uncompressed: file_header = uncompressed.read(64) # a `bytes` object # Or do anything shown above using `uncompressed` instead of `response`.
