Title
Body
Requests is a really nice library. I'd like to use it for downloading big files (greater than 1 GB). The problem is it's not possible to keep the whole file in memory; I need to read it in chunks. And this is a problem with the following code: import requests def DownloadFile(url) local_filename = url.split('/')[-1] r = requests.get(url) f = open(local_filename, 'wb') for chunk in r.iter_content(chunk_size=512 * 1024): if chunk: # filter out keep-alive new chunks f.write(chunk) f.close() return For some reason, it doesn't work this way; it still loads the response into memory before it is saved to a file.
