How can I force to download samples pdf from internet?

[blackleitus]

I am trying to download files from internet for research purposes, but when I tried to move fromto python2 to python3 . I got an error TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str' because python3 treats string different,but I had to change from .content to .text, and it fixed , but it doesnt download the files , but it’s grabing them, how can I force to download them?

def downloadFile(self, url):
    fDir=self.outputDir
    local_file = None
    if not os.path.isdir(fDir):
        os.makedirs(fDir)
                     
    try:
        f = urllib.request.urlopen(url, timeout=10)
         
        for x in range(len(self.signature)):
            if ord(f.read(1))!=self.signature[x]:
                f.close()
                raise          

        local_file=open("%s/file%08d.%s" % (fDir, self.successCount, self.extension), "wb")
        for x in range(len(self.signature)):

        local_file.write(f.read())
        local_file.close()
