Attributes Documentation

default_http_user_agent¶: Default User-Agent for HTTP request headers. This can be overwrittenfor a particular call via http_headers option, where available.This only provides the default value when not set by https_headers.

delete_temporary_downloads_at_exit¶: If True, temporary download files created when the cache is inaccessible will be deleted at the end of the python session.

download_block_size¶: Number of bytes of remote data to download per step.

download_cache_lock_attempts¶: Number of seconds to wait for the cache lock to be free. It should normally only ever be held long enough to copy an already-downloaded file into the cache, so this will normally only run over if something goes wrong and the lock is left held by a dead process; the exception raised should indicate this and what to do to fix it.
