It would be useful to be able to choose where to save the download file.
Describe the solution you'd like
A change to the get_user_downloads_folder function within the otc_db_download file to allow a choice of folder rather than always choosing the downloads folder, or downloading to the current directory instead of the downloads folder.
def get_user_downloads_folder():
if platform == "win32":
downloads_folder = str(Path.home() / "Downloads")
elif platform == "darwin" or "linux":
# for macOS or linux
downloads_folder = str(os.path.join(Path.home(), "Downloads"))
else:
print("Unrecognised OS, cannot locate downloads folder")
downloads_folder = ""
return downloads_folder
Refactoring
The function is currently doing extra logic. Make the check for exists first, then if not create the folder.

Use standard methods for checking if exists, see https://www.tutorialspoint.com/How-can-I-create-a-directory-if-it-does-not-exist-using-Python
