Python 3: An interactive deep dive

Let’s say you want to download a resource over HTTP, such as [an Atom feed](https://www.educative.io/courses/python-3-an-interactive-deep-dive/diving-in-YMX9LA0LgDn/). Being a feed, you’re not just going to download it once; you’re going to download it over and over again. (Most feed readers will check for changes once an hour.) Let’s do it the quick-and-dirty way first, and then see how you can do better.
