How to download a website excel file with python?

[igorfv]

Hi Guys,

I need to download the Excel file from the link below and save it in a directory on the machine. How can I do this with python tool?

Note: I want to do it with the Python tool, not the download tool.

Thanks,

Igor

This is some serious laziness. Add it as a request to postman. Check out the python code in the code block in Postman. Port to Alteryx python tool. 

note - this is a .xls excel file. This may not be supported going forward.
