aiodownloader

Async file downloader.

aiodownloader is a simple tool that allows to download files in parallel without the overhead of using multiple processes by using instead the async features of python.

Example usage

Using it in a synchronous program

import aiodownloader

def download_sync():
    downloader = aiodownloader.Handler() # Sync defaults to True

    # Downloading a file
    downloader.download(url_of_file)

    # Downloading multiple files
    await downloader.download(*list_of_url_of_files)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    download_sync()

Using it in an async program.

import asyncio

import aiodownloader

async def downlaod_async():
    downloader = aiodownloader.Handler(sync=False)

    # Downloading a file
    await downloader.download(url_of_file)

    await downloader.download(*list_of_url_of_files)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(download_async())
