Discord.py: Can't Figure Out How To Use Aiohttp In Place Of Requests For This Use Case

My original code (which made use of the requests library): sess = requests.session() req = sess.get(i) #i is a url soup = BeautifulSoup(req.content, 'html.parser') link = soup.find

Solution 1:

Note that I have included aiofile to asynchronously write the file, as big files will cause the code to block.

import aiohttp
import asyncio
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import os
from aiofile import AIOFile

async def write_file():
    sess = aiohttp.ClientSession()
    req = await sess.get('https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/2600')

    soup = BeautifulSoup(await req.read(), 'html.parser')
    link = soup.find('a', text='EPUB (no images)')['href']
    link = 'https://www.gutenberg.org' + link

    req2 = await sess.get(link)

    async with AIOFile(os.path.join('C:\\save\\location', 'war.epub'), 'wb') as x_file:
        await x_file.write(await req2.read())

    await sess.close()


loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(write_file())
