That does work and is compact while being intelligible.
I'm still not getting the file. I thought this would work:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    t = paramiko.Transport((hostname, port))
    t.connect(username=username, password=password)
    sftp = paramiko.SFTPClient.from_transport(t)
    sftp(remotepath,localpath)
    t.close()

 . . . but obviously something is missing. 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./scpgetter.py", line 20, in ?
      sftp(remotepath,localpath)
      TypeError: 'SFTPClient' object is not callable

I tried using the paramiko.SFTP.get method too. Failed.
