Hello..
I like reading different people's implementations of python as it helps
me decide what is necessary vs what is not.
Essentially, I want to write a class that finds, and downloads a file
from a web server.
Such tools already exist, although they may not be written in Python. In
particular, google on "wget" or "curl" for two very well-known
industrial-strength tools for downloading files from the web (and other
places). If you just want something that works, I recommend you learn
how to use those tools rather than re-inventing the wheel.
(A lot of my scripts that download from the web do text processing in
Python then call wget for the actual download.)
If you add "python" to your search terms, you may find the sort of code
you are looking for, or at least examples that will point you in the
right direction. E.g.:
http://duckduckgo.com/?q=python+wget
http://duckduckgo.com/?q=python+curl
