I used the following code to download a PDF file, but the

with the write operation?

a = open('adobe.pdf', 'w')

Sure you don't need this to be 'wb' instead of 'w'?

'wb' does the trick. Thanks all!

Here is the final working code, i used an index(i)
to see how many reads took place, i have to assume there is
a default buffer size:

import urllib2
a = open('adobe.pdf', 'wb')
i = 0
for line in
urllib2.urlopen('http://www.whirlpoolwaterheaters.com/downloads/6510413.pdf'):

i = i + 1
a.write(line)

print "Number of reads: %d" % i
a.close()


NEW QUESTION if y'all are still reading:

Is there an integer increment operation in Python? I tried
using i++ but had to revert to 'i = i + 1'


Instead, use enumerate:

for i, line in enumerate(...):
    ...
