A Python library for easier and faster downloading
- Multi-segment downloading(64 connections)
- Resuming downloads
persepolis_lib is available on pypi.
pip install persepolis_lib
#!/usr/bin/python3
# import Download class
from persepolis_lib.persepolis_lib import Download
# create a dictionary that contains download infromation.
download_dict = {'link': http://example.com/example.jpg, # your download link
'out': None, # You can choose a name for your file if you want. If you don't want to, choose None for its value.
'download_path': /home/example_user/Downloads, # Choose download path. You must choose valid download path!
'ip': None, # set ip of your proxy, If you don't use proxy, set None value for it.
'port': None, # set port of your proxy, If you don't use proxy, set None value for it.
'proxy_user': None, # set proxy user, If you don't use proxy, set None value for it.
'proxy_passwd': None, # set proxy pass word, If you don't use proxy, set None value for it.
'proxy_type': None, # set proxy type, http or socks5. If you don't use proxy, set None value for it.
'download_user': None, # set username, If your download link requires user name,Otherwise, set its value to ٔNone.
'download_passwd': None, # set password, If your download link requires user name and password,Otherwise, set its value to ٔNone.
'header': None, # set header if you want, Otherwise, set its value to ٔNone.
'user_agent': None, # set user-agent if you want, Otherwise, set its value to ٔNone. persepolis_lib/version is default user agent.
'load_cookies': None, # set cookies path if you want, Otherwise, set its value to ٔNone.

# persepolis supports Multi-segment downloading. set number of threads. maximum value is 64. minimum value is 1. default is 64.

# create a download session
# set timeout value in seconds. default is 5.
# set number of retries if download failed. default is 5.
# set progress_bar value to True If you want the progress bar to be shown in the console. default is False
# set threads_progress_bar to True If you want the size downloaded by each thread to be displayed in the progress bar. default is False.

# start download. Use thread if you want!
download_session.start()
# stop download
download_session.stop()
# pause download
download_session.downloadPause()
# Unpause
download_session.downloadUnPause()
# limit download speed.
# limit_value is between 1 to 10.
# 10 means no limit speed.

# get download information in dictionary format

print(status_dict)persepolis_lib creates download file and log file and conrol file in json format with .persepolis extension in download path. control file contains download information. Persepolis_lib can resume download, If control file exists.
