If you’re looking for a more advanced tool, check out `httpx`. It’s like `requests` but supports async and has better error handling. Here’s how you’d do python curl url to file with it:
```python
import httpx
url = "https://example.com"
try:
with httpx.Client(timeout=5.0) as client:
response = client.get(url)
response.raise_for_status()
with open("output.txt", "wb") as file:
file.write(response.content)
except httpx.RequestError as e:
print(f"Request failed: {e}")
```
It’s super clean and modern.
