else:
    raise Exception('no access token in result')

It seems you have one more step now. From the latest of your step you need to get the download url:

downloadUrl = result['@microsoft.graph.downloadUrl']
download =   requests.get(downloadUrl )
# the content is download.content

Just want to say thank you, this solved a problem for me today!

thank you! awesome job
