Python URLRetrieve Limit Rate and Resume Partial Download

I'm using the code from this thread to limit my download rate.

How do I incorporate partial downloads resuming with the rate limiting code? The examples I've found use urlopen instead of urlretrieve, and the RateLimit class depends on urlretrieve.

I'd开发者_JAVA百科 like to have an external function that controls the partial downloading, without having to change the RateLimit class:

from throttle import TokenBucket, RateLimit

def retrieve_limit_rate(url, filename, rate_limit):
    """Fetch the contents of urls"""
    bucket = TokenBucket(10*rate_limit, rate_limit)

    print "rate limit = %.1f kB/s" % (rate_limit,)

    print 'Downloading %s...' % filename
    rate_limiter = RateLimit(bucket, filename)
    #
    # What do I put here to allow resuming files?
    #
    return urllib.urlretrieve(url, filename, rate_limiter)

May be able to use PyCurl instead:

def curl_progress(total, existing, upload_t, upload_d):
    try:
        frac = float(existing)/float(total)
    except:
        frac = 0
    print "Downloaded %d/%d (%0.2f%%)" % (existing, total, frac)

def curl_limit_rate(url, filename, rate_limit):
    """Rate limit in bytes"""
    import pycurl
    c = pycurl.Curl()
    c.setopt(c.URL, url)
    c.setopt(c.MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE, rate_limit)
    if os.path.exists(filename):
        file_id = open(filename, "ab")
        c.setopt(c.RESUME_FROM, os.path.getsize(filename))
    else:
        file_id = open(filename, "wb")

    c.setopt(c.WRITEDATA, file_id)
    c.setopt(c.NOPROGRESS, 0)
    c.setopt(c.PROGRESSFUNCTION, curl_progress)
    c.perform()
