Lets say there's a file that lives at the github repo:
https://github.com/someguy/brilliant/blob/master/somefile.txt
I'm trying to use requests to request this file, write the content of it to disk in the current working directory where it can be used later. Right now, I'm using the following code:
import requests
from os import getcwd
url = "https://github.com/someguy/brilliant/blob/master/somefile.txt"
directory = getcwd()
filename = directory + 'somefile.txt'
r = requests.get(url)
f = open(filename,'w')
f.write(r.content)
Undoubtedly ugly, and more importantly, not working. Instead of the expected text, I get:
<!DOCTYPE html>

DRY up these templates and make 'em nice and re-usable, right?

Content from Github, but not the content of the file. What am I doing wrong?
