Wgetter is another command line download utility written completely in python. It is based on python-wget (https://bitbucket.org/techtonik/python-wget/src) with some improvements.
It works on python >= 2.6 or python >=3.0 Runs on Windows or Linux or Mac
python -m wgetter <URL>
>>> import wgetter
>>> filename = wgetter.download('https://sites.google.com/site/doctormike/pacman-1.2.tar.gz', outdir='/home/user')
100 % [====================================================>] 19.9KiB / 19.9KiB 100.0KiB/s eta 0:00:01
>>> filename
'/home/user/pacman-1.2.tar.gz'
Obs.: If not set, output directory (outdir) defaults to current directory

- Some Bug Fixes
0.5.1 (2014-08-25)
- Added improved bar and estimated transfer time
0.3 (2014-03-08)
- Added the option to set download's output directory
0.2 (2014-03-06)
- Init version, uses urllib2 instead of urlretrieve (deprecated), reads in chunks with network transfer rate calculation. Fancy bar. Human readable file-sizes. Checks Md5 if available and download final size. It's a heavy modification of python-wget made for my needs that i decided to share.
