I am currently developing a program which should run on Linux and Windows. Later it shall be compiled with PyInstaller. Therefore I am using Python 2.7
My program must download http://fex.belwue.de/download/7za.exe I am using this code: sz = path.join(fexhome,'7za.exe') szurl = "http://fex.belwue.de/download/7za.exe" try: szo = open(sz,'w') except (IOError,OSError) as e: die('cannot write %s - %s' % (sz,e.strerror)) import urllib2 printf("\ndownloading %s\n",szurl) try: req = urllib2.Request(szurl) req.add_header('User-Agent',useragent) u = urllib2.urlopen(req) except urllib2.URLError as e: die('cannot get %s - %s' % (szurl,e.reason)) except urllib2.HTTPError as e: die('cannot get %s - server reply: %d %s' % (szurl,e.code,e.reason)) if u.getcode() == 200: print(u.read(),file=szo,end='') szo.close() else: die('cannot get %s - server reply: %d' % (szurl,u.getcode())) It works with Linux, but not with Windows 7, where the downloaded 7za.exe is corrupt: it has the wrong size, 589044 instead of 587776 Bytes.
