[FIXED] Downloading files in Jupyter: wget on Windows?

Issue

I am trying to download files from a url.

I found wget command to be able to do that. Since I use Jupyter, I did not want to use pip, however conda install conda wget didn't work as there is no Windows wget in the default repository. Thus I did conda install menpo wget which successfully installed wget. However I still cannot import wget in JupyterLab: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'wget'

1. Are there any other steps to import wget?
2. Is there a better way to download files in Jupyter?

Solution

As Trenton_M pointed out, there is a urllib library that can do it instead of wget:

import urllib.request
url = 'https://address'
filename = 'myfile.txt'
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, filename)
