Now, let's talk about binary data, so again we are going to use requests,
0:10
but this time we are going to focus on downloading and saving,
0:14
or even a memory processing binary data,
0:17
this could be things like zip files, it could be images or a whole bunch of stuff,
0:23
In the demo, we are going to is actually mp3 files,
0:26
those are fairly large binary files that we can work with.

So a lot of things with requests are really straightforward,
0:32
this one is a little less straightforward,
0:34
but not too bad once you see a couple of techniques

that will make this much easier.
