Downloading And Saving Zip Files To A Particular Path Folder

[Larz60+]

The following code will return a path where to place file, based of file name.
will work with all file suffixes as written, searches filename stem for aircraft type.

Automatically creates directory if it doesn't already exist.
Won't harm existing directories.

change homepath to your base directory, for your code should, this should be (I can't test on windows as I don't use it):

homepath = Path("C:/Users/Edward")

to add new aircraft (and auto create directories) add entry to 'self.aircraft_type' dictionary.
The first time that aircraft type is encountered in a filename, it will create the new directory.

Example program TryAircraftPaths.py shows how to use the AircraftPaths class
As written, homepath will be in source code directory as 'All_My_Aircraft', this can be changed as required.

So in your program:
add two lines:
import AircraftPaths

and instantiate class:
ap = AircraftPaths.AircraftPaths()
then:
ap.get_aircraft_path(zipname)
will return save path

AircraftPaths.py:

from pathlib import Path
import os


class AircraftPaths:
    def __init__(self):
        # Assures starting directory is source
        os.chdir(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)))

        # Set this equal to you're base path (top level where 
        homepath = Path('.')

        self.basepath = homepath / 'All_My_Aircraft'
        self.basepath.mkdir(exist_ok=True)

        self.aircraft_type = {
            '737-400': {
                'subpath': 'Boeing',
                'aircraft': 'B737-400'
            },
            '737-800': {
                'subpath': 'Boeing',
                'aircraft': 'B737-800'
            },
            '320-200': {
                'subpath': 'Airbus',
                'aircraft': 'A320-200'
            },
            '195-200': {
                'subpath': 'Embraer',
                'aircraft': 'E195-200'
            },
            'general': {
                'subpath': 'PAI Aircraft',
                'aircraft': 'Misc'
            }
        }

    def get_aircraft_path(self, zipfilename):
        for code, details in self.aircraft_type.items():
            if code in zipfilename:
                ap = self.basepath / f"{details['subpath']}"
                ap.mkdir(exist_ok = True)

                airpath = ap / f"{details['aircraft']}"
                airpath.mkdir(exist_ok = True)
                return airpath

        ap =  self.basepath / f"{self.aircraft_type['general']['subpath']}"
        ap.mkdir(exist_ok = True)
        airpath = ap / f"{self.aircraft_type['general']['aircraft']}"
        airpath.mkdir(exist_ok = True)
        return airpath
    
if __name__ == '__main__':
    ap = AircraftPaths()
    print(ap.aircraft_type)

TryAircraftPaths.py

import AircraftPaths


def main():
    ap = AircraftPaths.AircraftPaths()

    zipfilelist = [
        "ziggy195-200theMonster.zip",
        "Caltech320-200hacked.zip",
        "UnknownAircraft.zip",
    ]

    for zipname in zipfilelist:
        path = ap.get_aircraft_path(zipname)
        print(f"Path to save file in is: {path.resolve()}")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

running test program TryAircraftPaths will display (set your homepath in AircraftPaths.py before running):

Output:
