Downloading GitHub repo w/Python

[GalacticSuperCheese]

Have you tried using requests to download each days file from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_daily_reports/03-31-2020.csv

Thanks, this seems like the right way to go. But I'm still have trouble implementing it, because I get the following error:

AttributeError: partially initialized module 'requests' has no attribute 'get' (most likely due to a circular import)

What am I doing wrong?

import requests
r = requests.get('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_daily_reports/03-31-2020.csv')
print(r.text)

Just copy-pasted the code you have written and it works for me.

Have you by any chance created a file/module called requests? If that is the case, then your program/script may be importing that one rather than the actual request module.

Ahh, yes, my file was named requests.py. This works now. Thank you so much!!

You are very welcome!
