We can use urlretrieve from urllib.request module to download file.

For example, we can download geckdriver.zip file from their Github repository with the following code.

from urllib.request import urlretrieve
url = "https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/download/v0.26.0/geckodriver-v0.26.0-win64.zip"
filename = urlretrieve(url, "geckodriver.zip")

print(filename)
