A working (for me!) example:-


import urllib

paths = ["http://www.python.org/index.html", ]



for remotepath in paths:
     # keep only last 10 chars (index.html)
     # for local file name
     localpath = remotepath[-10:]

     print remotepath, localpath

     urllib.urlretrieve(remotepath, localpath)
