Github file viewer / general URL download script for Pythonista

github_download.py

"""Prompt user for URL and filename and download the remote resource to a file.

If the clipboard contains a HTTP(S) or FTP(S) URL, the URL input dialog is
pre-filled with it.

The suggested local filename is extracted from the URL, if possible.

If a github file viewer URL is given, it is transformed into the matching
raw file access URL, which makes it easier to download files on github you
are viewing in your browser. Just copy the URL to the clipboard, change to
Pythonista and run this script.
