More random remarks: - print() gives the impression that you are dealing with text, and using it with binary strings will produce surprising results when you migrate to Python 3: Python 2: >>> from __future__ import print_function >>> print(b"foo") foo Python 3: >>> print(b"foo") b'foo' - with open(...) ensures that the file is closed when an exception occurs. It doesn't matter here as your script is going to die() anyway, but using with is a got habit to get into. - consider shutil.copyfileobj to limit memory usage when dealing with data of arbitrary size. Putting it together: with open(sz, "wb") as szo: shutil.copyfileobj(u, szo) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
