Look at urllib2.

#!/usr/bin/python
import urllib2
if __name__ == '__main__':
fileurl='
http://down.51voa.com/201208/se-ed-f...ds-16aug12.mp3'

mp3file = urllib2.urlopen(fileurl)
with open('outfile.mp3','wb') as output:
output.write(mp3file.read())

Even better, look at requests
(http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/). There's nothing you can
do with requests that you can't do with urllib2, but the interface is a
whole lot easier to work with.

There is also a httplib2 module
https://code.google.com/p/httplib2/
