Downman is an example of a Python CGI which presents files for
download.

You will want to copy the part that sends the right headers (etc)...

Remember, though, that a CGI script cannot actually put files anywhere. You
can certainly download files to the client browser, but the user will have
to be involved to tell the browser where to store the incoming file.

Doing anything else would be a security hole.

But a CGI script can send a file in response to an automated request
from a client application, without ever needing a browser to be
involved.

Sending the right headers means that existing libraries (urllib2 I
guess) will know how to handle the response.
