python request module

Question

Hi.
I want to write an app which gets the raw of some files from github via request module.
Now I want to know Does it download the file every time I run the app?
(I don't want the file. I just need its content.
E.g https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ramin-RX7/DramaX/master/other.py )
My files are big (more than 50MB) and I dont like to spend internet for it.
So if my file is 50MB, do I need 50MB internet for each time I run my app?

Answer 1

Now, what do you mean by "I don't want the file, I just need its content?"
How are you supposed to "get the content" without downloading it?

Answer 2

@Kuba Siekierzyński I mean I dont want to make a file like: MyFile.txt
I just need that file as a string.

Answer 3

Ramin.RX7 Well, sure, but in order to read it, you have to draw the data from it, right?

Long story short: yes, you will have to download 50MB each time, unless you download it once and make an if statement, so that if the file is present, do not download it again.

I think you didn't get it
I'm saying I dont want to download and save the file. Just I need page source as a string.
And from your words I found you mean I have to download it every time I run my app right?
