i use mega.py to download file from mega but it shows this traceback when run the code:

from mega import Mega
mega = Mega()
m = mega.login()
## Even when i add email & password
m.download_url('https://mega.nz/file/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx')

• Python: 3.10.8, 3.11
• mega.py: 1.0.8

i found a solution for this is add temp_output_file.close() before shutil.move(temp_output_file.name, output_path) in _download_file function in mega.py in source folder.

That means we have to close the file before moving
